    In c/autism you maybe want to make an exception to your weird personal rule about tone indicators. This community is especially populated by people who may significantly struggle to understand tone in text through only context.

    Edit:you also replied to OP and not the comment you were trying to reply to so there really isn’t any attached context for your anti-tone indicator rant.

      That helps explain why I have no clue about what is going on. Though I still don’t get OPs image.

      Yeh, you’re right, that’s about as text book a circumstance as ever to suspend this policy. In fact my own rule has the option to just not say whatever it is at all if I’m so sure the sarcasm can’t stand on its own without an indicator so ultimately that’s really what I should have done.
