That's the only reasonable comeback to insults. Poke tongue | ;-P

There are 2 kinds of insult: the "yes I meant to call you x" and banter. The thing is, if you can't deal with either, you shouldn't be in the game.

I am not being overly serious here but if you're too stupid not to realize that...

Again only partially true. In reality a well crafted insult does 2 things: it makes a point and makes you laugh. A poorly crafted insult is just that - an insult.

Anyway, people are way too sensitive these days. You can call me anything you like as long as it's not late for dinner.

And people these days tend to think that blaming others' reaction allows them to be rude.

We all know that sticks and stones etc etc, but whatever happened to just simply being polite? Or at the very least, just not being rude?

cheers

And you think calling me stupid was supposed to make me laugh? Following your definition that is "just an insult". I'd put that in this category: http://www.searchquotes.com/quotation/Insults_are_the_last_resort_of_the_weak-minded_when_they_feel_powerless./675348/[^]

Don't feel insulted by that quote. It's intention isn't to insult you or make you laugh, it's to make you think before you speak.

You didn't get that was sarcasm? Ok: well; another lesson for you.

Chris: I think we need a sarcasm emoji: seems a lot of people here just don't get it.

You can use a full load of sarcasm, and still avoid some kind of words.

I would recommend you to edit your above message.

If your intention was simply do a sarcasm, it is derivating in a discussion. Which is not worth.

Sometimes is easier to do a step back and one aside than hitting a wall. Don't you think?

Additionally... I fully agree with the idea of increasing the list of emoticons, that would be helpful in other moments as well.

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It would have negated the impact.

I would recommend that you... Oh, of course, someone will moan that sarcasm, etc.

Nope. definitely don't agree: walls are for breaking through not avoiding.

Abso-elephanting-lutely.
