(Smilies, as we call them here). I was laboring under the thought that the English language should be enough. But, they are just so damn handy. I see we have new ones. Maybe three would have been enough. All Things Considered (an NPR program I like), I favor emoticons over repetitive punctuation!!! Do you get my point??? But, I'm a flawed pot and can hardly criticize the kettle.

Nah. I think emoticons serve a purpose. They can get obnoxious when used indiscriminantley, or when they are too cutsey. But most of the ones on this forum serve a purpose. There are some I never use, but some I use pretty regularly to convey a tone. Sometimes a smiley is a better way to say: "Just kidding"

If one doesn't like emoticons...
and one feels they are obnoxious... :spaz: one could always feel free to leave. No one is forced to come to RVF.

Glad to see you understood; however, that emoticon isn't hosted by RVF. Even if RVF stopped hosting emoticon's, that alone wouldn't get rid of them.
