I. SARCASM IS NOT A "GRAY AREA"
"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." (Matthew 5:37)
The greek word for yea means a strong affirmation, and gives the idea of absolute truth; whereas the greek word for nay means absolutely negative.
God says that you either speak one or the other, and anything in between is... evil. Pretty scary thought, isn't it? James 3:8-10 tells us that the tongue is full of poison, and with it we bless God and curse other men. That's not God's intent! Also, in Matthew 12:34-37, God declares that we will have to give an account for the idle words (unneccessary, and often foolish, filler) that we speak. This is no light matter!
