> Why would you dislike a solution which neatly solves a false dilemma? What dilemma? I’ve been diagnosed with autism/asperger syndrome since the age of six, and even I can see when people are being sarcastic without needing an explicit signal. I dislike the “solution” because it ruins the joke. The whole point of sarcasm is to communicate a common gripe with other people without saying it out loud. If you’re not sure if the audience of your comment shares your common gripe (or if they don’t know you well enough to know what kinds of things you’d never say seriously) then that’s a bad time to use sarcasm.
