Quote:Most of us do when they act it. It's called being honest, something I believe you are struggling with being on this message board.

She struggles because she is constantly trying to figure out everyone's over the top sarcasm. Everyone know's she doesn't decipher it, but it continues. She constantly asks literal questions to silly comments and then she gets bashed for asking those questions which is what she's being baited to do! 

 

She's blunt as a hammer, but that's part of the situation she deals with. The difference is, her bluntness and or seeming rudeness is oblivious to her, unlike everyone else who does it purposefully. 

 

I know this is the internet and it's a cruel place, but there are people on the other side of those keyboards.
