I was asked recently why I was being so sarcastic by someone I knew online on a message board. Anyone that knows me in real life knows how truly sarcastic I can be. ha ha! There's nothing wrong with being sarcastic, I equate sarcasm with wit and intelligence. I'm pretty blunt and honest so I try to curb my sarcasm and comments when I comment online because I know that some people just can't handle it OR worse off, take it out of context.
What I don't understand is that one of her friend in my opinion is even more sarcastic than I am so I thought she was kidding when she asked me that. I had sent her a note with a reply saying that I couldn't believe she thought I was being sarcastic when this friend of hers named her son a really unique, totally funky name. Which to me seems totally fitting to her sarcastic nature. and what balls she has to name her son that, You go!! The first thing that this friend has ever commented to one of my post was how ill-matching Elle's clothes were. I showed them a picture of Elle where she happened to have different sets of pajamas but I just let it slide because I knew she was being sarcastic and not to hurt my feelings.
So instead of understanding that I was comparing her relationship with this sarcastic friend of hers, I got attacked for dragging her friend into our fight. I apparently hurt her feelings because I "dragged her friend" into it. The funny thing is she claims to be a writer and for her to deliberately take my words and use them against me at a place where I no longer am welcomed nor where I can defend myself, is just low. But I guess I should have expected it.
I'm only writing this because I don't want any of my friends that are still on that message board to think that I would attack anyone as she said I did. I was only comparing myself to a friend of hers who share, from what I can tell, the love of black and sarcasm. I don't have to subscribe to be apart of "Kind Blog" to actually use those theories in my daily life. I've only tried to help this person and tried multiple times to get together with her and I've been ignored and dissed every time. I guess I should have gotten the message the first time I tried. What can I say, I'm such a sucker for wanting to fix and help people?
Misunderstood

and her comment on Elle's clothes? totally out of line.
