Let's call a spade, a spade: sarcasm often gives us license to be lightheartedly hateful. Only I can look inside my heart and determine when I'm honoring God with my sense of humor and when I'm grieving his name. When my sarcasm condemns, judges, shames, or isolates God's image-bearers, I sin against God's cherished craftsmanship. -unknown

No, but they were using it in a loving manner, not in a manner based only in hope of afflicting and embarrasing someone...the difference is that many people here use it to try and shame or actually hurt the people, or just to be plain mean and condescending. I have seen instances where it was used in a loving way on this site, rare, but i have seen it. Sadly, it is often used to try to cause one to quit posting opposing views when its obvious we are all trying to learn...and that is the hurtful speech im posting about.
Sarcasm? You mean like the following words YOU wrote in another thread?
Now Now- we cant be speaking truth in here, these folks won't stand for it...i happen to agree with you, however...
just remember- every single one that disagrees with you is LOST and knows not the truth. Every last one. Every one of them serves satan...ahem..i mean sin....oh wait- same thing.
That kind of sarcasm, Theservant? You're a fake, phoney and a fraud! (Courtesy of Bob Grant).
You've been exposed for what you really are -- a Pharisaic tare.

Actually, i think my original post is quite clear on the type of sarcasm i am referring to. The problem also seems to be that many of us cannot see the lines we so often do not need to cross, and if those who so quickly jumped in defense were to actually read the context of my post, instead of overreacting, they would not have replied so hastily. I think the original replies to my post more than adequately reflect what poor attitude i am talking about?
Wow! 
Young man, how much sense does it make to post that sarcasm isn't a "worthy attribute" and judge others about it when right before you made this post you commented in the "Be Holy" thread:
If that ain't sarcastic, what is? Don't bother justifying it. I'm outta this thread now. *good grief*
