You're giving up the fight already?


It appears Shades is as stubborn as an army mule. So I'm pulling back to regroup and go after lesser grievances. Then when he's got his wallet open and is about to give us a 5 (rather than a 50 which would be the smilie in this metaphor) I'm going to knee him in the balls and steal those smilies and distribute them to the common man!


Well, he was a Marine, but Marine mule just doesn't have the same punch.

Is this some matter of principle with Shades?

No, it's a matter of making people not look like hyperactive schoolchildren going ape with their mothers' scrapbooking kits.

Why the Hell is everyone so infatuated with those damn things, anyway? What is it that makes people go so totally ga-ga over little colored circles cluttering up message boards?

It's probably that mentally we're all hyperactive schoolchildren and mom wouldn't let us into her scrapbooking kit so we need to cleanse ourself of the repression. If you turn on Smilies you could aid us, nay, even cure us.

Maybe instead of smilies, we could post pictures or art to express our emotion?

Here's a lovely kiss, courtesy of Klimt:

This smile is precious:

For something REALLY angry:

Finally, an option for sad:

Or, we could just let the issue drop and post about more important things... ;)

Just because you don't understand the infatuation doesn't make it wrong.

In that case, I'm willing to be enlightened. Please educate me.

Don't ask me. I'm perfectly satisfied with text smilies, textual [/emotion], or the option of adding pictures myself.
