The heavy use of ellipses is a common giveaway for sarcasm in casual writing in the US. But I agree, part of what makes "good" sarcasm is that it's easy to interpret as being either for or against something depending on the audience, and this leads to issues like "locker room talk", allowing some unfortunate ideas to persist because it appears people agree with them. I also think sarcasm should be used sparingly on this particular forum, it's important to try to limit the possibility of ambiguity in order to foster better discussions.
