I blame you for making me do the Google search that turned up this: "If the cervix can be located, grasp it and gently push it forward. This will straighten the vagina and the gun should pass freely up to the cervix."

It seems to me that this fails to answer this simply because a neophyte wouldn't likely have sufficient experience with any particular poster to formulate a context by which to judge.
If you go back, you can read how many times I tried to kick out this contradiction to existing knowledge about authors...
Anyway, here's a hint for your newbie friend to keep in mind, Aerothorn: If someone suddenly acts erratically and overly aggressive towards your posts, it could be sarcasm.
EDIT: Just in case this didn't become obvious from the thread.

I don't disagree, but: And? So what?
Even in the short blurb you quote, I said "long history," which
clearly implies some familiarity. It's pretty obvious that that was a tangential means by which experienced forum members could tease it out in certain instances and not some Holy Unified Theory Of Internet Sarcasm Interpretation nor a direct answer to that particular question (the clear implication being that that over time the "internet newbie" will develop more means by which to detect it). Besides, Aero even opened with a discussion of "how
one detects sarcasm on the internet," (emphasis added) not limited to just "internet newbies."
Which is why a certain someone would have to be a total fucking moron to think its a "contradiction" and keep dribbling this shitcup of embarrassment down the front of their shirt... Ahem.

Or its dethtoll replying.

Yeah, my primary question was "general detection of sarcasm on the internets," though of course with particular interest as to whether internet newbies are just screwed.
Basically, how long till I can reasonably expect this person to get my dry sarcasm in text form:(

Sarcasm is a contradiction between what someone says and the actual meaning. And that meaning has to be deduced from context clues or existing knowledge. That is what I referred to in my previous post (
"contradiction to existing knowledge").
Doesn't matter, keep rollin'.

Just shoehorn in "yo mama" somewhere every time you're being sarcastic.
Examples:
"I agree with yo mama."
"Yo mama thinks that film is great."
"I'm gonna come outside and talk to yo mama."
See? Always works.
