in earnest, that is.
like, you'll never see snorri, neoteny, player, etc. ending a post with

or quoting a well-reasoned point and rebutting with

, or quoting their own side's rambling thousand-word diatribes just to add fifty

s.
but not a day goes by when rockfist, gabon, john, trollscotty, or whoever, doesn't pump out a metric fuckton of emoticons like a malnourished child making shoes at a taiwanese sweatshop
i wonder why that is

thanks thaiguy for getting the most banal and predictable reply possible out of the way early
you have a real knack for this though so i suppose it shouldn't be surprising

you seem to fly under the radar of the mods. this feeble attempt at flaming would've earned me a 6 month forum ban.
if flaming is what you crave, then you should visit cosmicoutpost.com . however, i feel that having your safety blanket here, which is akin to fighting a man with his hands tied behind his back and his trousers round his ankles whilst being attached to a morphine drip is surely an advantage you will not dare walk away from.
just saying...

Nothing wrong with a knowing

However, a feeble joke with a

does annoy. It just screams "So you know I'm trying to make a joke, right?"

You know, now that you've admitted to it irritating the piss out of you, they're only going to do it more.

I do believe that those that do NOT show at least SOME emotion may be robots. One must be on one's guard.

Smileys show emotion... the Internet sucks at portraying emotion... therefore I use smilies.

if you can't write well enough to convey a certain tone with only your text, you need to learn to write better. herman melville never used a single smiley to write moby dick and that book is like a billion pages
