Poe's Law

So true. No matter how obvious it is that I think a statement is parody or sarcasm, some people will think I am serious unless I tag it. Even people I would think would know me well enough to know better.

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
