MODERATORS
I've found that people who can't detect obvious sarcasm are probably not worth the effort of explaining it
Fair. I've spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I've had my fair share of "woosh" moments
Likewise. I appreciate your service
Tbh one of the things that makes detecting sarcasm vs actually just defending him hard is that normally you can use prior knowledge of a persons opinions to help, but here I have no clue who you are and what your positions are and you might just be a random Nazi.
If you really don't like just having the /s there, one options is to include a spoiler and put the /s in there a few lines down.
