Big difference: sarcasm is a personal opinion; accusatory may be
grounds for libel
sarcastic (adjective)
sardonic, ironic, ironical; derisive, snide, scornful, contemptuous,
mocking, sneering, jeering; caustic, scathing, trenchant, cutting,
biting, sharp, acerbic; informal smart-alecky.
accusatory (adjective)
indicating or suggesting that one believes a person has done
something wrong
