Even now I'm not sure I understand what part you are claiming was sarcasm.

Only way to use sarcasm online is, making it literal with the help of a closing tag like /sarcasm o </sarcasm> Is like winking your eye after your sarcastic phrase

Sarcasm is a lazy rhetorical tool that doesn’t translate well to the internet. IMO it’s best avoided online.
