Occasionally, people think I'm an asshole

...because of my sarcastic sense of humour. Anyone else find this trait a bit of double-edged sword? It's like a homing beacon for like-minded folks, but I think I'm going to try and take the edge off -even around close friends- because people sometimes think of me as the miserable cynic. I battle with cynicism, but I don't think I'm more depressed than average. Just a bit trigger-happy with the wise-cracks.
Anyone else had to reign in a funny bone that's a bit too sharp and pointy?

yeah, I think that's a common characteristic around these boards.
I know exactly what you mean. I honestly don;t give a fuck though. people need to get some backbones and I'm not afraid to force them into it.

I'm consistently recognised as the sharp-tongued spacec-cadet in social circles. I wonder how accurately this describes the population that frequents this website.

I do know people that say "oh I am not an asshole I am just really sarcastic" but in reality they ARE an asshole and use sarcasm as an excuse. I don't really know why sarcasm is an excuse anyways. Sarcasm can be a weapon and is usually used to put people down... so how is it any nicer to be sarcastic? I like a good joke just as much as the next guy and I can take a hit and I can dish some out too, but when it is non stop people will start to see you as the negitive guy.
I am not saying this is you by the way, I don't know you. I am just saying I can definently see how sarcasm gets old and can be seen as mean or depressing even.

I have a dry sense of humor sometimes and I'm always making wisecracks. Often at the most inopportune times. I catch myself sometimes and realize that I need to reign it in. So yeah, I think I'm funny sometimes when others either don't get me or don't think the same.

An occasional sarcastic remark towards a friend is OK, but that shit gets old really fast, at least for me. You can be humorous without putting other people down.

yeah, idk about the whole post count thing. I don't really give a shit about that. I'm not a "loyal shroomerite" or whatever such bs lol. I just post what I think is interesting and what I think others SHOULD hear. Been here almost 4 years now; I like to keep my post count low. I do say a lot per post though haha. not every time but usually anyway..

Yeah, I find I have to reign myself in quite often. Specially if I've had a couple drinks, it's way to easy to take the sarcasm and wise cracks too far.
Some people think I'm funny as hell, but most people just don't get my sense of humor at all. Luckily my wife and my mother-in-law both think I'm smart and funny. And those are really the only 2 people in the world you need to impress.

I've noticed that most of the people who can't take a hint to laugh at sarcasm are usually the type of people I don't want to be around anyway. Therefore I don't really care what they think of my 'humor'.
Also, they usually aren't the most intelligent people and they themselves usually don't have anything decent to say about anything in the first place.
Call me cynical
