It is true that in the past i did do quite a lot of posts using just emoticons as answers. However, there is no reason to always have a go at me for it. In the last few weeks i have hardly ever done it, i reduced it when people started complaining about it. Even the ones of you who now complain about me (i dont hear any other names popping up in this context) do that. I don't want to point out names now, because it would be unfair towards the persons i'm referring to. If anyone wants to know it, feel free to pm me.

Another point i would like to make is, I don't actually see the problem you have with those emoticons. To be honest with you, sometimes those emoticons are more specific than many other people's posts. Or to quote Mongoose: "Emoticons speak more than words boyoh" (well, maybe this wasnt exactly how he said it, but you get the idea).

I think the emoticons should be fun and if you don't like it you will have to deal with it. They will always be used as long as they're available. And they do add to the understanding of posts as well.

Think about it. If you want to argue about this, feel free to pm me...No, wait. If I think about it, you can also put on a fight on this thread, i don't really mind. There has been so much controversy about this topic on this board already so feel free and welcome to respond here. And since some of you seem to enjoy arguments so much, here is the perfect opportunity for you. have fun.
