Context usually works for me.
Also, I might use the [/sarcasm] tag sarcastically.

Tova:
I personally feel that tagging a sarcastic remark spoils the effect, somewhat like telling a joke and then immediately explaining it. So if you feel that you need to point out that you are being sarcastic because it's not obvious in the context, then maybe it's not worth bothering. Unless you're being recursively sarcastic, as DSL mentioned above. You know, ha ha, only serious!
Of course some - many - would point out that typed sarcasm is almost never obvious. I can't disagree. On the other hand, again depending on context, having someone miss your sarcasm is not always a disaster.
Eh. Communication is difficult.
Tova:

Mods create a thread on the ontological basis of responsibility!
Hilarity ensues!
Tova gets a warning for over-excitability!!

There was Clinton, who was touching her without permission, and Marigold's gaming PC, which was innocent. Were there other times she tasered someone?
"Technically, gravity was responsible" could be a great t-shirt caption. What should the art work be?

May, who was being obnoxious. Even though AI drives are supposed to be nearly indestructible, with the shoddy work on a parole chassis, it is entirely possible that damage could have been done.
