Ie if somebody is confused I may attempt to explain things to them a little better. If an anonymous person is expressing themselves its hardly worth worrying about Thats a bingo! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply because there is no way top down vote a post you don't like. Confused or sad are the emojis that come closest to a down vote. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, OneMoreFarang said: I use the confuse icon when mentally challenged members ask confusing questions or make confusing remarks. And then there of course all the people who just repeat what they saw somewhere but they didn't understand it. Last but not least, if I want to communicate with intellectuals, then I wouldn't post in this forum. So, if you think that you are so much smarter than all the others, then maybe ask yourself why you post in a forum with all those people who are not as smart as you. Maybe you should try a Mensa member forum or something like that. But maybe they won't let you in. I was a mensa member for a few months. Some of the members I met, were people I did not want to meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, cdemundo said: Interesting to learn that correction of English learned in second or third year of elementary school is considered "nit-picking grammar" by some here. Problem is that grievous errors in English hurt the ears of those of us who learned a bit at school. Even hurts the ears when read silently. What hurts even more, is going back and reading something that I wrote, when I was in a hurry, and cannot change it, as it was written in ink! Oh the embarrassment. Writing digital is more better satisfaction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDisplayName Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 3 hours ago, mfd101 said: The problem with the 2 emojis is that it's usually unclear what they mean in any particular case: Does it mean he/she is confused/sad at the content of my message? or at the fact that I said it? Or is it a generalized feeling of sadness & resignation at the state of the world? It would be much more useful to everyone if the 2 emojis were replaced with signs for "I don't agree' & 'I can't understand a word of what you just said'. It might be wise two attedn to won's spilling and punctuation\ and Grammer whenn complayning about other Posters comprehensile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HappyExpat57 Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, OneMoreFarang said: Why? Does it never happen to you that you listen to someone or read something and you disagree completely? And you know that it would be useless to say or write to that person to change their mind. Then it's easy to just click on sad or maybe confused to show to others that what was written is incorrect. I.e. with some people and some politicians. People just don't want to listen to facts. There is no point in even trying to explain things to them. I learned that lesson the hard way with "dyed in the wool" MAGAts. I spun my wheels providing them with facts only to eventually get it through my thick skull they didn't care about the truth. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottfrid Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 3 hours ago, ezzra said: Judging from the many "Confused" emojis that have been showing lately in many posts, i have come to think that many members here are bewildered, perplexed and plain Not with it when it comes to many topics, is this out of spite or just the mental quality of the people reading posts here, and yeah, i expect tones of those Confused and sad emojis to this post.. don't disappoint me guys... Don´t worry, I have contributed with a confused emoji. Thinking, maybe it should have been a sad. I only have two questions for you. 1. Do you really think opening an arrogant and judging thread like this is the correct way to address what is on your mind? 2. Don´t you think starting a topic like this, can make people think it´s you that are intellectually challenged? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
