It should be taken tongue-in-cheek.
Another example would be:
I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?
I would interpret that to mean you really do know what the blue font means, and asked the question sarcastically.
as opposed to:
I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?
One can only assume you don't know what it means and is a legitimate question.

Got it. So if someone writes sumthin' like
"I would like to think that the only way that an official calls a foul in that situation is if it is an obvious foul that everyone in the gymnasium could see." in regular, non-blue color and font, they meant it as a legitimate statement.
And that's exactly the way I interpreted it---> as a statement.
