So its clear that emojis hurt peoples feelings and they complain to management about it.

In an effort to protect their feelings they have eliminated some and replaced them with ones that aren't so painful to sensitive people.
Now since that didn't work, we've moved the abusive smiley to the far left so as to make it more difficult to use. lol

That doesn't even cover the crying about the thumbs down abuse ! 😂

Abused by a smile...

We've reached a new low in personal development.

Teacher hurt my feelings when she didn't put a Gold Star Sticker on my paper, so I pouted for the rest of the day just to teach her a lesson.

it's only the thumbs down people don't like, don't forget it only applies to non moderators

Whether or not we become a snowflake and whether or not we adopt a victim mentality is totally on us and it has nothing to do with circumstances. If you want a real live day to day example that just look toward big Don as I consider him to be the biggest and the most prominent "victim" in America today. He epitomizes the very definition of a snowflake. Weak, fragile, highly reactionary, vengeful, spiteful, unreasonable, oversensitive and possessing ridiculously thin skin. In other words a truly pathetic example of an American man. Yikes.

Just use a photo of Trump. Same thing.

If you can't handle criticism and disapproval, don't participate. Only the strong survive.

What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

Friedrich Nietzsche

You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand? ~Robert Louis Stevenson

To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength,

Gives, in your weakness, strength unto your foe,

And so your follies fight against yourself.

Fear, and be slain--so worse can come to fight;

And fight and die is death destroying death,

Where fearing dying pays death servile breath.

William Shakespeare

The weak have no place here, in this life or in any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death. There are hundreds of thousands of microbes surrounding us, but they cannot harm us unless we become weak, until the body is ready and predisposed to receive them. There may be a million microbes of misery, floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened. This is the great fact: strength is life, weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal; weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"

• Origin: The phrase appeared in print as early as the 1870s.

• Purpose: It is used to encourage indifference to taunts and bullying, primarily used by CHILDREN.

• Modern Context:

  Many argue against the phrase, noting that verbal abuse, bullying, or dehumanizing language can create lasting scars.

• What a load of Pussies we've bred in the last few years, grow a pair.

Having a mental breakdown by observing a childish cartoon character on an electronic most certainly stems from having mental health issues.

I think emojis were created by little children and now abused adults here. Why does this message board even have them is beyond me. Maybe the creators want accelerate dementia of its members to thin out the population here.

We've come a VERY long way here. Just a few years ago you would get suspended for typing " snow flake" two or three habitual posters were out to get anyone who dared speak SNOW FLAKE!

I would say those peeps were the original snow flakes on here.
