No. Not in a public forum. This is a public forum, not your personal playground if you hadn't realized.
You are free to post anything that you wish, but there is no restriction upon responses being weaponized. That is at the sole discretion of the respondents.
Kapisch?

No - you haven't been here long enough!
Once you ban something, the floodgates open for people to demand all sorts of things to be also banned - before you know it it will include all foreigners, none christians, dog lovers and smokers as well as those asking 'mundane questions' like "what camera should I use to kill the wife with?" and 'which camera strap can I use to restrain my children?".
Learn to skip....grow a thick skin....etc.
In today's world of forums and facebook too many people think they are 'hurt' by mere words. You are not.....There are lots of things out there that really can kill you, but words are not one of them.
have fun

Exactly how are you going to measure "sarcasm". The people who are best at it are so subtle that we could spend pages disagreeing on whether their comments count as "sarcasm".

Sadly words are seldom free, they're like the 'free lunch' idiom....

For a new user already with an bad reputation, you're rather presumptive to include yourself already in "we" ...

Trick question? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

No! Because if it is all of your posts have no response. You started several posts that any responses can only be of the Sarcasm type.

Or if a man says something in the forest, and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

My husband thought so too...
