Why am I not surprised...

I am not sure what is worse, that someone opened another thread about this or that there are already 8 pages of comment after a few hours.

If anybody is such a snowflake that they can't handle a few emojis in an anonymous forum, then maybe it's time to stay away from the internet and any other human contact and cry.

Maybe get a dog for company, but I feel already sad for the dog.

Maybe the snowflakes who should get a puppy are those who feel the need to write offensive posts or use emojis to troll?

I'm surprised the fragile ones haven't already complained about the "Rate This Topic" option.  555

as much meaning as a fart escaping a bottle.

Indeed, your response to to that post of ,mine does have as much meaning as, er, "a fart escaping a bottle".  Whatever that means.

It's hilarious how much umbrance people take to others objecting to hate speech. It really exposes who are the snowflakes around here.

What hiarious  is that i just went through the thread looking for the examples of where you descended into hysterical name calling and finger pointing against another poster only to discover that they had been removed.

I totally agree bigbird, and the confused emoji, people seem obsessed with showing their ignorance, I call it the moron emoji! Watch, there'll be one along soon!

 

 

I never use the the sad emo as you cannot be sure anyone using it is agreeing with the post or not. Instead I use the confused emo whether I am confused or not.

Well you know what I think of the confused emoji! I even have a name for the users!

I don't really have an issue with them. My posts are written clearly and concisely. My arguments are based on pure 100% logic with no underlying emotions to cloud the picture. If people give me a confused emoji they are probably trolling. If they aren't trolling, and are genuinely using the emoji for the purpose it's intended, they clearly lack basic reasoning abilities and deserve sympathy, not anger.

 

In reality I think a lot of people use it to say that they disagree with the content of the post, as opposed to actually being confused. As there isn't a specific thumbs-down or "I disagree" emoji.

There is a post of mine already in this topic, I will add to it and say I always use the confused emo when I strongly disagree with the post and not because I really am confused.

To tell the truth I am hardly ever confused except maybe when the post is probably from a non Native English speaker.

"Should sad emojis be banned?"

 

Why do you care?  There are no points, awards or ranking for posts or gathered emojis on this forum.  That you are so thin-skinned that an emoji from an Asean Now poster, for God's sake, hurts you is sad but you actually start a thread about it and want a specific emoji ban?  Why not ask for a ban on "LIke", "Love It", "Haha", "Thumbs Up" and "Thanks", also, or do they stroke your ego too much to lose (if you get any)?   And I say all that as a collector of a serious number of the (inconsequential) emojis referenced.

What exactly is the difference between a Thanks and a Thumbs up emo?

But they are monitored!

Yes they are, or were monitored, they were used for stalking.

Whatever you want the difference to be...or ask Admin.

Single "thumbs up" emoji would be enough "IMHO".

 

If people are to lazy to write why they are confused or saddened we don't need to know it. The others emojis are redundant.

Maybe, just maybe, some time I will get a decent answer from you.

Maybe, just maybe, you'll have a decent question to ask me.

 

Do you think that "Thumbs Up" could mean, "Yes, I agree"?

Do you think that "Thanks" could mean, "Thank you, you're comment is appreciated"?

Personally I'm more perplexed at how some people use the laugh emoji.

 

Many times I've made a serious suggestion, offered a solution to something, or simply made a complely benign comment on a topic... In all cases there is never a hint of comedy in my post and yet somebody, somewhere manages to find it funny.

 

The mind boggles.

Posters use it because there isn't one for "what a load of <deleted>"

I see.

 

It's amazing the kind of content some people find objectionable, then. Oh well... not my problem.
