    Problem with omitting the /s often is, that you can’t differentiate between satire and real idiocy. Especially in current times, where more often than not it is the latter, and you don’t want to make a potential idiot thinking he’s right.

      But that’s the best part! You drag the idiot along to the extreme end of the line of thought you are sarcasting. Hopefully they’d walk way past the end of the cliff by the time they look down prompting gravity to do its thing.
