- SIGH* So is this about what the first line says, about marking sarcasm in text, or about just being sarcastic, like the Laconic page says and some of the main page maybe assumes? I wish people would learn some reading comprehension so they don't just edit a page to mean something it didn't. I don't know which meaning was original, though I'm betting the first one I mentioned.
I think I have enough evidence here to just change the Laconic, actually.

Does anyone else think we're overusing sarcasm mode on pages for nightmare fuel and tearjerkers? Seeing so many people acting like sarcastic smart alecks on pages for fear and sadness gets old fast.
Seriously, I've seen a lot of sarcastic "thanks for that, [creator]" on those types of pages.
"AXEL ON STAAAAGE!"
Anyone else in favor of a Take That! style warning against the oh-so-clever types who pothole this article like they've got some speech impediment that causes them to talk like HK-47?

It's there now, but just to make sure I'm going to check the "Related" page every other day to weed out any new ones. That way, I can make sure it doesn't happen again. I'll have to avoid pages about works I don't want spoiled, though.
