1. Sarcasm tags are for idiots.
It perpetuates a lack of critical thinking.

6. People who are good at sarcasm shouldn't need sarcasm smilies
People who are bad at sarcasm shouldn't use sarcasm. People who are bad at reading good sarcasm wouldn't notice the smilie, anyway. For all these reasons, the sarcasm smilie should not be used...

7. Exactly.
I'm too tired of explaining things anymore. Let whomever reads what I post, take what they want from it, even if it's utterly incorrect. I'm so used to things around me being taken horribly out of context, to not even care anymore.
