Oh, that's fine - I wasn't hurt at all because of you being unsure about my sarcasm. I'm just trying to be patient with you, to show and help you to learn to better communicate with the rest of the community =)
I think internet has a lot of unnecessary flaming and negativity because so many people are all too quick to misunderstand each other and misinterpret positive or neutral messages as hostile - and then reply with a fierce counter-attack, and soon everything turns into a pissing competition. Luckily we don't have things like that so often in UrW community. And it is just natural that sometimes people get hurt or angry even when nobody is hurting them - just because people misinterpret and then get hurt because of their own misinterpretation... but life gets easier the more one learns to recognice such patterns in oneself, and then slowly letting go of them.
(When I was kid, I learned to be very good at insulting other people. And I did it a lot, because I thought it was the normal way of speaking. And I had learned that the better you are at insulting others, the cooler guy you are - then I suddenly realized how stupid that idea is, and how much I've been spreading totally unnecessary negativity around me. So I started to pay attention to my own way of thinking and speaking, slowly learning new habits.)
