Obvious sarcasm is obvious. But people think you are serious.
I'm not sure who is more dangerous, stupid politicians speaking about closing sites or stupid wikipedians closing Wikipedia sites when politicians speak about closing sites.
About 90% of everything that comes out of Domas's mouth is sarcasm. So if you don't know whether he's being sarcastic about something, you can assume that he is and get it right 90% of the time.
Domas probably had the same reaction to the Italian Wikipedia protest as I did. We both spend a lot of time making sure Wikipedia is always up and available for people to read, so it's painful to see a small proportion of a wiki's users decide to take a whole wiki offline for everyone.
