Ha Ha! The crux of the matter :-P

Yes, so do I (use gentoo, you know you want to!). Of course while no  
offence, rudeness or malice intended, the two hardest styles of language  
to portray in textural conversation are as follows ----->


sarcasm

n : witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to  
upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of  
glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their  
own"--Johathan Swift


irony

n 1: witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to  
upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of  
glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their  
own"--Johathan Swift [syn: sarcasm, satire, caustic remark] 2: incongruity  
between what might be expected and what actually occurs; "the irony of  
Ireland's copying the nation she most hated" 3: a trope that involves  
incongruity between what is expected and what occurs

also, another good definition is


denial

n. An unconscious defense mechanism characterized by refusal to  
acknowledge painful realities, thoughts, or feelings.


So go on, use gentoo, you know you want to :D
