Hayward, you're a joke. You can't be taken seriously. Here's why:

You said that. In response to a sarcastic comment. There are two ways that phrase is likely to be interpreted (in my experience, anyway): serious or sarcastic.
If it's serious, then essentially what you are saying is "You are a Nazi." Calling someone a Nazi over a single comment on a message board is... well, extreme, I would say.
It could also be sarcastic. Fair enough.
jeni then responds as follows:

i don't know if you're referring to me, but my comment was made in jest.

And you say:
Quote:
I thought it was common knowlege that sarcasm doesn't carry well in written text and thus is not conveyed as the poster had intended.
Whooops, my bad.

Now, some sarcasm picks up pretty well in written text (is there another type of text, or are you trying to use as many words as possible?), and one of those is your sarcastic "Whooops, my bad." I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but sarcasm tends to make people think you're condescending.
Anyway... you're pretty clearly using sarcasm in the two posts of yours I've quoted, once before and once after you said "I thought it was common knowlege that sarcasm doesn't carry well in written text" - after jumping on someone else for being sarcastic!
In other words, "Sarcasm is cool as long as it's me, and obviously everyone will understand what I mean - but when other people do it, I can't be counted on to figure out whether or not they're being sarcastic." Obviously, then, you're totally justified in calling someone a Nazi.
And you wonder why people laugh at you?
This is a board for grown ups. Why don't you find another place to play? Or perhaps you could start making some sense. Your call.
