my timing can't be beat, can it?
the wording should make it clear that the 'only gays get aids' view is being mocked... doesn;t it?

You kinda sound
like one of the bigots. Sarcasm is sometimes difficult to use in text.

So, it's ok to say what you like if you do a smiley face at the end?

if you are being sarcastic, yes
if you are being a bigotted cnut deliberately then no, it doesn't help at all

Seriously, you don't believe that I believe in my compo post do you?
By being deliberatly crass in that post down there, it's totally self-mocking, much like Manic's.

But for the love of fuck don't use a [/sarcasm] tag.
Nothing is more completely humour draining than seeing something that's obviously sarcastic ending with "[/sarcasm]"

I don't know.
I have mixed views. I sit on the fence. I could be persuaded to bat fo the other side.

I could tell the mockery.
But even if you were being deadly serious, so what. This is B3ta. Where's the line?
