Question -- so it's considered a threat when a "newbie" says it, but it's "sarcasm" if it's from one of the hallowed list members?
 
Ah.  I get it.  Thanks!

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
  Sarcasm \Sar"casm\, n. [F. sarcasme, L. sarcasmus, Gr.
     sarkasmo`s, from sarka`zein to tear flesh like dogs, to bite
     the lips in rage, to speak bitterly, to sneer, fr. sa`rx,
     sa`rkos, flesh.]
     A keen, reproachful expression; a satirical remark uttered
     with some degree of scorn or contempt; a taunt; a gibe; a
     cutting jest.
  
           The sarcasms of those critics who imagine our art to be
           a matter of inspiration.                 --Sir J.
                                                    Reynolds.
  
     Syn: Satire; irony; ridicule; taunt; gibe.
From WordNet (r) 1.6 : 
  sarcasm
       n : witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used
           sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the
           stupid" [syn: irony, satire, caustic remark]

Lizzy needs to quit making physical threats.  They're not cute.
