People that have absolutely no ability to distinguish between someone trying to rile them up and legitimate questions?
I mean, do people seriously lack some sort of gene that allows you to understand sarcasm? Or is it just a matter of the fact that they're just not intelligent enough to understand?

Because when they see a question they immediately act rather than stop and think first.

The other day, there were disgusting questions (obviously by perverts) on the baby section, and I can't believe how many people responded seriously to them instead of seeing that they were trying to wind everyone up..
I think you're right that they're just not intelligent enough though...

when u r posting people cannot hear your sarcasm or see the grin. as for the stupid questions u just can't tell. some are more obvious than others. a way to tell if its a legitimate question is to look at the person's past questions/answers.

Has it occurred to you that there could 3 types? The 2 you described, and people like me who sometimes answer provocative Qs with a straight face in order to upset the person asking.

I think it might its because, Sarcasm is usually a tone of voice we identify with, and when thats not there, people just read the words as words, missing the way they are presented.

Actually, I'm thinking that you've pretty much answered your own question ! Don't sweat the small stuff.....move on as many questions are sincere.

Sarcasm isn't only unintelligent, but unnecessary and unkind.
