I thought that was obvious enough.

It was very obvious.

But text can't have a tone of voice or display body language, it's use is to distinguish ourselves from the people who actually say and believe the insane stuff.

Even worse, is when some nutcase says something like this, and then gets upvotes and validation. Not realising that a bunch of people assumed it was sarcasm.
