I thought Christians were prohibited to do that until marriage?

I get the patronizing/condescending vibe from it.

HK-47?

Line [HK-47?] failed to communicate correctly to me. I advise you to restate your injunction.

Please tone it down a little, this thread is not about making fun of Christians.

A bot! Quick, ban it!

[Puppeteer]

Oh please, let me. Hatch is my new friend.
I'd use it in a duh and/or a kinky situation.

[m@tt]

The idiot one. It looks more of a 'wtf you on about?' smiley than an actual winking smiley.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Then there's Ridder Geel with the 4 smilies per line.
I rarely edit people's post but I sometimes do with him.
When you have that many in there it makes you look bipolar.

I use smilies pretty often because I know how often something can be taken the wrong way.
Even though it can still happen with them it reduces the frequency of misunderstandings.

Solution: substituting emotion for logic. Communication is flawless when conceived by the machine.

An illogical deduction.

[Hostile]

means screw you... I'm smarter than you.

Oh, and this is a proper wink smiley:

[some_weirdGuy]

It can have a number of meaning, although i have never associated it with any negativity (though i suppose someone could use it that way... although anyone could use any smiley that way depending on the message)

But i guess its usually associted with 'if you get what i mean' and 'just letting you know' and 'this is between me and you(as in, our little secret)'. Never have i though of it as being anything ridiculous like "screw you i'm smarter".

And i guess a smiley-less post is just neutral. The words them self convey all the emotion the poster feels they need to add.


and matt, that is not the proper wink smiley, thats the new wink and as such can never be considered the 'proper' one
(i actually think the original ( ) conveys the emotions behind the wink better, the second one ( ) seems more... flirty or something

[Elvenlord]

Which is the entire purpose of a wink.

It was a joke *slaps Allathar*

[Allathar]

My remark was too. No harm in stirring things up a little

[Archon]

Of course not. *grins conspiratorally*

[Pasidon]

I suspect the use of a wink would of been much more appropriate.

Would have.

Although can denote 'duh', there's no smiley that denotes 'duh, fucktard'. The facepalm is not humiliating enough... though I rarely use smilies.

[Pasidon]

I do not see any circumstance where the terms are tactical to express. I suggest replacing [Term:[smilies] with more literal symbols of emotional dictation.

Would have.

I am standard with the grammar laws of Ozark English, substituting the 'have' preposition in circumstances that to not require its literal dictionary definition. If I were to have flaw, it would be logical to trace the error back to the creator of machines. Amusing among other things.
