Here's the thing the defining characteristic between irony and sarcasm is one is deliberate while the other is unintentional. Which is why for your comment to be ironic you would have had to have been sarcastically mocking the notion of post count mattering while you honestly believed that post count mattered.

You intentionally mocking the notion of people giving a shit about post count is entirely expected since it's fairly well known that you don't care. Therefore you are not acting counter to expectations since the expectation is that you would mock the people who think it matters.

or, you could look at it from a different angle

this notion of irony being contingent on "expectation" is an arbitrary load of shit, and that's where all the confusion comes from when defining the term

not everything unexpected is ironic--that's just stupid
and it's a poor litmus test for irony in general

you're basically saying that if i receive mail on a sunday, that's ironic
if someone turns on the lights during the day time, that's ironic

no, irony is when a fireman burns his house down

this post falls under that type of irony, and if you can't see it, you're blind

i can swim now, sort of

not counter to expectations

who in the fuck is to say that

you? the illiterate drunk?

i don't think so

who gives a fuck

why does that mean he shouldn't have a first name

calm down deci

go fuck yourself deci

There's nothing ironic about Elegiac having the most posts and there's nothing ironic about me making a jab towards people who care about post count.

i never said there was, and i never said there was

do you know how to read

I think you're trying to say you were being sarcastic with your "this matters", but sarcasm isn't instant irony. There would have to be something ironic about you sarcastically saying that "this matters" for it to be ironic.

you realize sarcasm is a form of irony, you patronizing cunt

i used the term irony because that's exactly what i fucking meant

not sarcasm
irony

because i am ironically posting about how post count matters, even though it doesn't
that's called being ironic, kid

Look at how unimportant you are.

ok deci

8000 posts = 8000 contributions to the forum

when talking about someone's "importance", it's kind of a big deal

sheev is no worse than obi-wan or yoda or whatever other weird-ass names there were

I wasn't emotionally detached from anyone, really.

I preferred the prequels to the original trilogy.
