Jambothump Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Sarcasm to me is cruelly deriding someone's, objective, viewpoint or statement. Irony, to me is offering an alternative, but varying from the original in such a way as can come across as insulting, (sarcastic) to the original point made ? Opinions? Or those with higher english, verifications ☺ That's just my definitions. Edited May 27, 2019 by Jambothump Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Why not try looking up some actual definitions instead of just making up your own meaning for words? sarcasm the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. irony the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

Ray Gin Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I reported you years ago because you spammed my inbox with a series of abusive messages purely because I had posted a link to a previous thread on the topic you had started.

Ray Gin Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 No, I literally only posted a link to a previous thread on tinnitus and for some reason you lost the plot and started sending me abusive PMs. That is exactly how it happened. I'm not sure how posting a link constitutes "hiding behind a keyboard". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you, or have you ever suffered deafness or tinnitus, I have from 7 years old, IIRC, you decried the noises I heard, that transferred into music tunes at times, you thought you'd have go at me about that.

Ray Gin Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I didn't have a go at you. I posted a link to a previous thread. I do suffer from tinnitus, which is why I remembered the thread. Thread: As you can see, I only posted a link and you for some reason lost the plot because you were drunk. There was another abusive comment from you on there that the Mod deleted before you started on the PMs. Edited May 27, 2019 by Ray Gin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Look take the straws out your nose (its not a good look).
