Rick,
There are many forms of expression. One of them is satire. Satire is generally used to demonstrate a point when a point might be retaliated against were it described in plainer language.
I use a mix of sarcasm and satire to demonstrate the point that some people do not readily accept commentary critical to their point of view.
The fact that I chose this particular mode of expression is itself a commentary on the sort of interaction I have had and expect to have with some on this list.
I hope that you can now see how this can be useful this forum we share.
Another point is that satire and sarcasm can be found humorous by some and will, rather than enrage, generally make people more thougthful through humorous introspection.
I only fear that I wasn't able to express myself well enough, thus causing some readers a level of discomfort at my oft-awkward words. If this is the case with you, please accept my apologies. I promise to sharpen my wit and expand by verve for the next go-round.
