"Poe's law is dead."
Poe's law is an adage of internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views. |

Do we need to bring back the "/s" so people know what's sarcasm and what's not?

I mean probably, but we'll also get the people who say they don't follow netiquette, so we still won't know. Outrage sells. Sex sells. Together... economy saved, good job everyone. Or something. |
