Honey, tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.
MEGAN MULLALLY
as Karen Walker, Will & Grace
Sarcasm is fun and empowering. It comes, however, with a swift and fulfilling moral payoff that, in the long-run, degrades the semantic integrity of language.

Sarcasm is hard for some to grasp on the internet, especially in a language that isn't your natural one (which is a possibility here). Consider that you can't be that much superior to the rest of us if you're here reading the same drivel we are.

Sarcasm has a power. The power that comes from handing someone a gift-wrapped box containing a bomb. The sarcast earns your trust, and then promptly proceeds to stab the social contract in the back. The power comes from, as Machiavelli posited, keeping one's enemies guessing, unsure of your motives. All sarcasts are dealers in Trojan Horses.

Sarcasm can be deadly not only to effective communication but also to relationships, both business and personal. Sarcasm demeans or degrades someone or someone's actions, ideas, beliefs, etc. No one likes to be put down in such an obnoxious way. Avoid sarcasm. If someone needs correcting over behavior or performance, take that person aside and have a talk with him or her. Avoid making sarcastic remarks. Be polite. Be considerate. Make every effort to help that person improve his or her behavior without using sarcasm or any other type of put-down.

While sarcasm may amend a fault, it may also make a bitter enemy.
KATE MONTGOMERIE

You see your vision and no one else's
Your every word filled with sarcasm
Crucify people with invisible knowledge
Verbal destruction with each compulsion
We will see where you go
The future for you is nowhere

Sarcasm and compassion are two of the qualities that make life on earth tolerable.
NICK HORNBY
Songbook
It began to dawn on me that sarcasm isn't clever, it isn't interesting, and it certainly isn't funny. Sarcasm is simply a way of masking your own personality problems behind crude comments.

In essence, sarcasm is easy (as is most anger, criticism and meanness) while true, harmless wit takes talent.
CLIFFORD N. LAZARUS
"Think Sarcasm is Funny? Think Again", Psychology Today
To create or decode sarcasm, both the expressers and recipients of sarcasm need to overcome the contradiction (i.e., psychological distance) between the literal and actual meanings of the sarcastic expressions. This is a process that activates and is facilitated by abstraction, which in turn promotes creative thinking.
FRANCESCA GINO
"Go ahead, be sarcastic", Harvard Gazette, July 24, 2015
I was trained by the masters in every known aspect of sarcasm, including several that are so subtle that they only insult a person subconsciously, destroying him from the inside. Don't be fooled though, it's not as easy as it looks.
