    Sarcasm does not fly in court. Everything you say can and will be used against you. You do not have to be the defendant for that to apply. I sat through a lot of civil cases. Most of the people who lost, lost because they were being sarcastic. Sometimes, their LAWYER would take up this attitude, but judges are people, and they DO NOT like attitude. I was specifically a witness and sat through a lot of cases. This hit home for me.

      What a complete and utter rubbish.

          You made a general statement that MOST of people lost their cases just because they were sarcastic. This is utter tosh.

          Judges may not like sarcasm, no argument here. But to say that most people lost due to sarcasm is a complete nonsense.

            That is what I said, yes. I had to sit through everyone else’s cases. If they were rude, they lost. Most of them that lost were rude.

            Edit: I am giving you my anecdotal experience that was across 30+ cases. It was a lot. That’s why I’m fairly confident in my assertion. If you want to give me stats, I’ll listen. Otherwise, you just seem combative. I even remember several example cases I could give you.

              Yup, let’s double down on your nonsense and your lack of understanding correlation and causation 🙄
