Nuance, undertones, rhetorical questions may as well as not exist for some of these good fellows. I must remind myself that even though someone (many someones) might lack in this department, that doesn’t mean they aren’t brighter than me in many other things.
I am curious though. How, if you are aware of this, do you watch spy, palace intrigue, double agent, psychological movies? Isn’t it detrimental to fully enjoy the acting and reading actors expressions and nuances? I guess you wouldn’t be aware that you are missing full experience?

Text lacks the complexity of vocal speech, no volume, no pitch, no pauses or tonal changes, nothing. We can mitigate it by using different tools such as the upper and lpwer case in unconventional ways, we can use fonts and bold and color and emoji, etc. But this demends effort, sometimes more effort than the actual writing, so people don’t do it.
OP, you suck and you are an idiot.
Was I sarcastic?
Yes, I have nothing against you.
Context is everything.
