Sarcasmo
's
developing
theory
declaring
the
damaging potential
of
words
to be
null
. He
thinks
that it is pretty much a
given
fact
that words,
especially
words
from other
humans
online
, have never
physically
hurt
anyone
. It is
physically impossible
.
So
,
he thinks
that the idea of
producing
a
physical
response
to a
verbal stimulus
is
improper
.
This is e
special
ly
true
online
, where you can't
hear
the
inflection
s or see the
person
's
face
.
The only time
anyone
should take
anything
seen
online
that isn't
news
or
extremely
personal
email
that
serious
ly is
never
.
Like moJoe says
, you can't make
assumption
s
based
on that.
In other words
, when
Sarcasm
o calls you a
whore
, don't
hit him
, because
it's all out of love
.
Instead
, try to
come up
with something
better
to call him, or
ignore
it and
continue
with what
you were saying
.
Fucko
.
