origins...

RE: origins...
No it’s about the origins of sarcasm. If people recognize any similarities that is completely irrelevant. I’m not calling for action or engaging sarcastic comments. Point in fact that My wife and brother -in-law just had an argument 2 days ago. It came out that she was really upset because his jokingly friendly behavior called her lazy or questioning what size pants she wears made her feel attacked . We had a very good group discussion on chips and sarcasm and their use in friendly circles. This is not a friendly circle is group of strangers on our forum. While his intent was not meant to be derogatory just to express his frustration or try and bring levity, it was about his intentional wording to cause harm but it was received as an attack.

Sarcasm is for the individual using it or an audience, that’s pretty obvious.
Any repetition of an act also fortified the inherent reasons.
Sarcasm also conveys negative attributes by definition.

The problem is in the reasons for using the sarcasm. Once the words fly out of your mouth you’re intent doesn’t matter because it is how it’s perceived. you either communicated you intent well or it was misconstrued.

It is bullying in this case because it’s unprovoked aggression. You can’t claim it’s a response to something when it is post 1 and title of various threads, unless you’re positing that you are butt hurt that somewhere else here or in life Christans picked on me first.

This perpetuates a cycle of martyrdom and bullying and actually galvanizes the underlying sides.


I still posit that sarcasm, with its intentional negative, galvanizing effects and when unprovoked are bullying and you’re welcome to disprove its intent, affect or classification.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
