I don't agree with the no sarcasm ever rule. I think some sarcasm, and certainly irony, is okay as long as it's not mean or unsupportive. Sometimes it just expresses a perspective.
I'm sometimes confused by the rules here too (or lack thereof), and how they're applied. And some I strongly disagree with. At the same time, I see Dr. Bob as well-intentioned and doing his best. There were points, though, when things got quite frustrating for me too, so I understand your feeling.
In any case, I hope you will continue to post (unless the situation continues to feel more harmful than helpful to you).
> My humor isn't appreciated here because it often contains a tad of sarcasm. :) So, I tend to see sarcasm in others' humor. Which is fine, except that in that case, it wasn't.
