This is a good one for me since nearly every thing I say is sarcastic,
but i always say it with such a serious face.

Sarcasm, or reality, that is the question over the net.

Sincerity doesnt work either, sincerity doesnt work either. i sent some one an invite for coffee, a sincere one i thought, and not even a reply back.

last time i try to be sincere.

At first I took notice of your repeating the same thing but then upon further inspection found your posting mildly poet.
Poetic justice perhaps. A message board however is not the best place to judge the sincerity of someone tho.

Re: Sarcasm over the internet is hard to detect

I love smileys, and i love sincerity
i use them both liberally, with a smatter of sarcasm when it is justified

when i posted that i was open to meeting someone for coffee a few weeks ago
i was being very sincere
i was on my way shopping and would have enjoyed meeting someone along the way
to chat and have some coffee
so i made my post
no one replied
since then, i have recieved numerous private messages from married men
requesting on such and such day at such and such time
that they would like to have me come meet them
im sorry to disappoint those men by saying i wasnt interested
to me i was being offered a appointment to provide an escort service
so, let me get this whole matter out in the open and clarify

gentleman,
whether it is coffee, tea or me the hourly outcall rate is always the same
unless i openly post an invitation for a platonic meeting at my convieniance
