We might, actually.

Go meta and look at that comment again.

...that was entirely too subtle for my straightforward brain. I think I get it now.

The funny thing is that this comment and all three above it could either be read straight or as sarcastic / indirect.

I'm having slight difficulty determining which ones should be read as which.

Maybe we need a sincerity tag.

I think the first two of those at least can be read in any combination of sarcastic/sincere*, which IMO is the best way to read them. I need to take a screenshot of those two and share them on some internet site somewhere.

I read JamesAndrix's as sarcastic and RobinZ's as straight.
