TBH it is not 'been bothered' per se by the emoji ones post receives. Sometimes it's an annoyance to see these emojis appearing on a perfectly normal, simple to understand post written by someone else! If someone on an internet forum doesn't agree/understand with your view/comments they can always request for a clarification, instead of flaming the poster or clicking on an emoji. This way the forum gets more lively, informative and interesting - sharing knowledge is a great positive feature on a public forum such as AN. When a member asks a question, go find it on Google is not the correct response, is my opinion. The grammar police is an absolute waste of time. Here in, we all are not native English speakers. Hence, our grammar & spellings might be not 100%, how ever much we are careful. Even experts in languages can make mistakes. We are all human, prone to error! Habitual inappropriate emoji clickers and grammar policing might be linked to some psychological issue, by which they try to intimidate other members (?) - but of course that has to be confirmed by a medical professional. Just my 2 cents!

Admin should remove these emoji's - No really! Take out the anonymity, and these sad and confused Rambo's will disappear!

Well... I did not read all the posts on this thread, up to now. But, as you see, the sad and confused have NOT disappointed you. Although they are sad & confused, they are loyal in their own way. Encourage them, eventually they might lose their sadness & confusion... Anonymity sure did enhance their confusion & sadness to come up to the surface in abundance! The grammar police too have their own agenda - on an anonymous public forum, let them all vent out their frustrations and hope for the best

Very smart comment. The government owns the road - anyone can park in front of your shop, even for a week? Regards not me

Absolutely amazing and deeply moving story of an Aussie woman's bravery with a tiny .22 calibre pistol yet they are like a mosquito bite to a big croc. A Darwin woman, Beverly Thompson, 38, has stopped a crocodile attack using a small .22 calibre Ruger pistol. This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. Here's her story in her own words: "While walking along the edge of a lake near my house in the Zuccoli Village Estate near Darwin discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 3.5metre crocodile which suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Ruger .22 calibre pistol with me, I wouldn't be here today!" said Beverly. “Just one shot to my estranged husband's kneecap was all it took. The croc got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible - and his life insurance was also a big bonus!.”
