Sorry, I was trying to be mean and sarcastic in the same post. It hurt me to call you that:smt009 I'm not cut out to be a badboy.
I'm a little bit of both. On one hand, when I argue with someone, I tend to get mean. But if the discussion is mutual, I can veer myself to sarcastic.
I think a lot of the time, it's one person joking and the other taking things seriously on here. I try to over-compensate with emotes if I'm joking, but it doesn't always come off as intended. I can be a little sarcastic, but try to lay off on forums as it just doesn't come over well and I don't like offending people. I dunno. Tbh, I'll apologise if I unintentionally upset someone, but I tend to think sometimes people take things a little too seriously for a forum post with strangers online(myself included!) and it can take a while to realise someone is just playing with ya, especially if you're having a bad day. edit: herp. To answer the actual question, a little sarcastic at times, probably coming off as mean when I don't intend to.
How I am online is the same in person. I'm civil/friendly with everyone unless I have a good reason not to be. To answer the question, sarcastic over mean when it comes to that.
Sarcasm, rarely intensionally mean. When I am mean, I'm straight up mean, not convoluted or draped in sarcasm. Sarcasm is used as humor w me - I don't use it as a "mean-tool". But even sarcasm as humor has to used carefully - some people don't get it and that is fine, I have friends I cant do that with, because they misunderstand, so I don't.
I'm 6'2, 225 ibs, dark skinned, shaven headed, muscular, romantic brotha. The last thing I want to do is walk around being mean to people. It takes someone really annoying to get me wound up. I will admit that I do have a temper but if you are cool with me, I'm cool with you. I prefer to make love not war. I tend to look at everything from a practical viewpoint and keep it in perspective, not that big a deal in the end. Unless I'm threatened, wronged or disrespected I keep it civil. Its all good.
