Emoticons

This weeks rant is aimed at something that many of us, including myself, are guilty of.

Over use of Emoticons. This must stop now.

Placing a winking face after a cutting remark does not make it less cutting, it meerly serves to placate the conscience of the perpetrator.
Using a smiley face to highlight an overly positive space just wastes pixels
Using an unhappy face, see "Using a smiley face"
Using any form of rock hands, just gay. Reassess your life and go kill your self.
Roses etc, See "Using any form of rock hands"

From this point forward I will be dropping all forms of emoticon from my posts. If this makes people more upset at the frequently cuntish things that I write, tough.

I urge you all to do the same.

On a different note, total adoration goes to whatamidoing for an edit he made a month or so back. The reason for editing simply said, "I can't believe I used one of those smiley face things" - Genius.

The emoticons are not happy
