There's too much sarcasm in GTM. I don't know what's serious and what's not anymore.
I didn't expect this to turn into a serious discussion, I thought the last sentence was a dead giveaway.


As a very sarcastic person myself IRL, interpreting a sentence as a joke or not when it's not your main language is not easy at all, imo. Also it's the way a joke sounds that makes it a joke and here obviously I can't hear, only read. That's why I don't behave sarcastically behind a PC. There's always someone that will interpret a sentence the other way around.

Also you seem a far more serious member than most, hence making your posts more believable, to my eyes at least. Congrats, you fooled me, twice now.
I'll adapt.

I'm with this as well, you can't hear the tone of voice
