There is a difference between satire and sarcasm. One is done as a Judgment of God and or so as to lead somebody to the truth and the other is done as a personal insult (with no real love in their heart).
What does the Bible say about satire and/or sarcasm?

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever..
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
If some one try to teach here something, or share a few wise word, he is self righteousness?
what is wrong with you people's?
Can't you see the horrible situation where you are?
You say that you serve God, but you behavior is not according the saints of God, it is according to the word if you want to see that, but can you, because the love for this world, which dwell in you?
Friendship of the world, is enmity against God.

O
for myself,
working on the habit of sarcasm that I learned as a young person has been a challenge, I was
very influenced by the speech around me and tended to copy-cat.
especially since as I grew older I could discern how my speech was truly affecting others in either
a positive or negative way - after conversion Christ began convicting me very strongly about hurting others -
it's like when you hurt someone then you begin to feel their pain and it feels awful.
PS.19:14.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD,
my Strength, and my Redeemer.
sometimes harsh correction is necessary to 'wake someone up', but must always be accompanied
by a loving motive, else it is just 'worldly sarcasm' and is of no profit.
we are required by our Father to always be ready to dutifully care for our brothers and sisters
as He cares for us in our Spiritual growth.
as it is written:
Woe is me, for I am undone! because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people
of unclean lips...
Then one of the seraphim flew unto me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs
from the altar.
And he touched my mouth with it and said:
Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged.
so, may the Lord touch our lips with that Spiritual coal from the altar's fire.

Paul uses sarcasm wonderfully in 2 Cor. 11. Especially in all these sentences:
2Co 11:19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!
2Co 11:20 For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.
2Co 11:21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.
2Co 11:19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!
2Co 11:20 For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.
2Co 11:21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.
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*

oh man....the self righteousness is reaching new levels
I find it shameful to hide behind the words of Jesus while you have posted a virulent sarcastic comment that comes nowhere near anything I have posted or most others for that matter
and here it is again lest we forget

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.
and you actually think that what you said above is OK?
"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:2
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Romans 2:1
"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:5
So, the Bible is not going to protect you. By your own words, you are under the judgment you have put on others
You can always repent though and of course we will forgive you....sometimes people just do not understand what they are doing

I'll tell you what is wrong with US PEOPLE
We cannot stand the smell of the hypocrisy of the op
he is far more sarcastic and condemns believers to hell and says they are of satan because they disagree with him
that, is what is wrong here
it's like an outhouse wondering why the air around it does not smell like pine
the horrible situation we are in? oh you mean the one where people who love to gossip and condemn and judge others keep coming on this site and destroying fellowship?
you mean that situation?
the hypocrisy is so crazy, on the part of you folk, that it is unbelievable
P
Using the bathroom is making an assumption. He could be praying, or with his spouse, or any number of other things. That's what is wrong with other versions, and perfectly illustrates why I use the KJV. I can go to Strong's and clarify any unclear passage.....not having to read what someone else thinks it should say, or what they want it to say. That is adding to or taking away from the word, perverting and/or twisting it. We know what the Lord thinks about that now, don't we?
The word is pursuing in the KJV, and here is what it is in the original Hebrew:
7873 OT - Hebrew
siyg seeg...from 'suwg' (7734); a withdrawal (into a private place):--pursuing.
