Instead of using a smiley to show you thought something was funny, why not just say “That was pretty funny”. I also hate people who say “LOL” and “LMFAO” and “ROFLOL”. How often in the real world do we somebody rolling on the floor with laughter?

Mama you are so right on the nail. I enjoy the bilious use of smileys about as much as hitting myself in the face repeatedly with a house brick (I suspect) The new ones “Junki head smileys” (on account of thier cute liddle’ eyes lookin like theyre on PCP) Are just so badly done. Interesting to see on other sites how many are leaving sites with Smil-itus. I think we should boycot these sites and make sure they know why. Reason:Free radio like RadioIO for instance used to play 2hr sets with no ads. Ahhm man it used to be blisss, now they are ramming the ads in at a level just enough to anoy you into buying a free “sound pass”.
Its only a matter of time before Smiley coke face will be reading you the headline news on the bbc, while his sister skag head smiley trys to sell you time share in gizmo gizmo. Smiley porno??Smiley.S.Thompson does Las Vegas. Is it a plane, nooo, hellooooo its super smiley. Ahh man, grab the brakes pleeez.(a note to the Archbishop smiley perhaps??)
(and all you wanted was an e mail)!!. I havnt found a simple work around other than totally disable flash.. For the inexperianced: Right click on the stupid rude looking smiley. Select “setting” then look for a button marked “advanced” this will bring up a web page. You actually change how these smileys arrive on your pc by changing things on that web page (mad, eh) youll find the global privacy link/page. Adjust to always deny and exit. (NOTE: This will disable the less offensive use of (Flash)(this is the stuff the computer uses to display smiley type ads)(its a small prog) as well, so you may see blank places where there should have been small pics or ads.)
You can reinstall flash later if you change your mind.(reload your page and you hope fully wont get any more “Hello” I also (in XP pro)disable “Play animations in web pages” and “play sounds in web pages” (I.Explorer/Tools/internet options/advanced)(dont forget to apply the changes)(apply button)
I think its a shame because im not that advanced in Pcs. Im just a high end home user. But its obvious that most intermediate and all novice users will have to suffer by, default. I feel its a liberty on your privacy if you wanted to view a web page but cannot, or a least are forced to make an adjustment first, in order to do so. Its stupid!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh killlllllllll people killlllllllllllllllllllpeeeeeeeooooopleeeee!!!!!!!!!. Sorry, errr. (small pause for medication)…….yes,…..now. where where we.
Thats it.
My name is Dr JB.
I come in Peace.
But I am a smidgen annoyed about this here smiley malarkey.
If anyone know of a Boycott orientated forum. Please post here. (sorry if you have and I have missed it.)
In the words of the great smiley.
Smile.until later.
Ps.Thanks for creating real smiles Mama

First I had to deal with purile abbreviations like LOL and OMG, now common language has been defiled to the point where childish representations of non existent emotions are frivolously smattered throughout a sentence. I’m am surrounded by morons. I curse the day a bracket was mispaired with the proverbial semi-colon, an ironic play on words itself – how half-assed communication has become…

Thanks for the sense in your blog. I can proudly say that I have never used them or put a colon next to a close brackets, neither do I intend to… such idiots!

Ati, I guess there are still some ppl out there that turn their head about 90Ã‚Â° to the left to read a smily (on systems where there are no smiley images). Ama? 😀

now that those new smilies have been made, you know the really really obnoxious ones that yell HELLO!! at you. I have stopped using several forums all-together, out of loss of respect when they added these evil animations. flash is the worst thing invented since GIF files, seriously.
