I apologise for the misinterpretation. HN is not the best place for my sarcasm.

I appreciated your contribution of sarcasm and I'm sorry if my playing off your sarcasm caused you grief. It's stupid that people downvoted (what's the HN euphemism for this?) your comment. It was appropriate. Keep commenting. Moderate yourself; Fuck karma... just stay positive, I don't know what happens to the people <0. I heard they burn the bodies for fuel to run the server.

    You need I think around 500 karma to be able to do it. That's what's up with the grey and nearly-invisible comments are--they have been downvoted

  ...my playing off your sarcasm... Oh no, you attempted two-level sarcasm? That simply won't work here. b^)

    "Gen-Y places a high value on authenticity. Sarcasm can be seen as 'inauthentic' and diminish the immediately perceived value of a piece. Satire, however, is a goodthing.

      Hmm. >Sarcasm can be seen as 'inauthentic' and diminish the immediately perceived value of a piece. I'd rewrite this as such: "Sarcasm is seen as 'inauthentic' and diminishes the perceived value of the piece." >the majority of Gen-Y simply can't process more than 140 characters at a time. I'd strike 'simply'. It's unnecessarily condescending. >post-2000 Didn't like it when I wrote^H^H^H^H^Hread it and don't like it now. Clumsy. More forced than I'm comfortable with.
