Sarcasm and hyperbole do not work on the internet.

Excellent! You are correct

my first comment was indeed sarcasm.

The 2nd comment isn't hyperbole.

Every time I read about a scumbag NU student

Hoo boy

If you deliberately present a slow-moving target like that, then you're precluded from complaining about the potshots taken at it....

Have I ever complained about a potshot?

I give it as good as I get it.
