@kabir88 is a very bad Steemian: he got flagged several times by the highest reputable user of the whole STEEM ecosystem - isn't that proof enough that he is really, really bad? :)
Unfortunately, detecting sarcasm these days is not so intuitive. The sad fact is that many users have the exact sentiments that @jaki01 expressed. Without the context of knowing @jaki01 and their views on the subject, one has no choice but to take it at face value. Nice to meet both of you, BTW.
Okay, so my sarcasm detector was broken :( I'm seeing so much stuff fly up my screen that I can't always look so closely. I know @kabir88 is doing some good work on Steemit and has suffered retaliation.
I understand. I have run into the same problem of people misinterpreting my sarcasm in the past. It's annoying...mostly because it shouldn't be a thing...kinda like flat Earth, but it is.
Sarcasm
Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt". Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although sarcasm is not necessarily ironic.
Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent.

We all know the highest rep means little and that person is one of the worst abusers of steem
It's called sarcasm

OK, to make it clear, it was sarcasm. I really thought that was obvious ... I even added a smiley ...

/r/wooooosh for me then...
How?
How what? :)
Hmmmn.
Wow, that's revealing
No, it was a joke/irony: @kabir88 got flagged by a whale because he dared to speak out. Actually, I value him a lot.
OK... Thanks for the correction
LoL @jaki01
@steempope can you help with my redemption?
Forgive me blockchain for I have sinned ;) (*sarcasm!)
Fear not, for ye shall be redeemed in time, my son.
Amen
@steempope will he need to convert to Catholicism before redemption ?
No, he needs to be converted into Steemism and be washed clean by Steem. Not SBD or any other derivatives.
May possibly consider Indulgence Tokens when SMTs arrive, but that's no guarantee.
Where's the STEEM Chuch?
You should do a @dlive sermon every Monday. (Friday-Sunday already taken by Islam, Judaism and Christianity)!
Monday it is then!
