I agree with him though...it's one of those things that's only funny if it's used sparingly. It's been so overused though, that it's just become as annoying as the people who seriously type like that.

Yeah, DB has this amazing ability to just... not get it.
There are a great many people who are like that, sadly.

you agree that its worse for this forum than the whob/whirley smilie tactic? because thats what he said.
it doesnt kill a topic. the excessive and desperate use of smilies posted over and over, flooding a thread after a long tiring debate, kills a topic.
please dont forsake logic just for the pleasure of contradiction.

Here you just gave a good example of not reading my post. I said IF I post a reply, and the other person claims it’s not been given… etc…
Where did I say I ALREADY ASSUME the other person won’t listen?

Nope, I didn't say that3, I said that I support him solely because his joke was better than yours...I'm shallow as that, sue me...then again seems 40% of your fellow countrymen are as well....

Also, I think that "worse" was a personal judgment of how it is perceived by AC. Whirly's Smilies certainly were annoying, but one could also claim that the usage of leet for sarcastic purposes can be even worse.

I read your post and understood it. You said:

WrathfulDwarf> Ah, but when said people refuse to read your posts, and the act as if they’re being mistreated or NOT given an answer, and you try again, get the same reply and try for the third time, there is no debate. There is only waste of my time.
Since you didn't ask me anything in your post first directed at me. I made a two independent questions (which you did not answer) To answer your question...you didn't. Now would answer my question (Then why bother in the first place?) or do you reply to a question with another question? (no need to answer this one)

A) Never have I ever called myself a god at any point. You remain the only one out of both of us who has referred to me as such.

I said it's becoming worse than the insecure use of smilies, fast. I never stated why it was becoming worse or what effect it has.
In about 5 minutes of scanning those posts I've managed to chalk you up on one count of wilful ignorance (ongoing) and one of (I'll assume) unintentional ignorance or misunderstanding on your part. Maybe you should change your name to I. Rony Hubbard.
To add to my list of why debating here leads to complications: People see what they want to see, if at a subconscious level.

I'll chalk that up to unintentional ignorance on your part, deny your mistake further and it will become wilful! 😉 <---Smiley use.

AC you're totally wrong! 💃
is not ignorance 🤣
people can use smilies as much as they want in a discussion 🙁 😮 😆

No 🙂
Whirly (weird) would mostly use the original form of the Smiley 🙂
Sometimes twice in a row 🙂 🙂
And when he was really talking Bullshit end with a nice wink 😉
you were following the conversation AC. first people including myself brought up whob's and whirley's thread killing via smilies and other spamtastic bullshit when they knew they got owned.
then you switched the topic as a cute jab at me, which i really dont mind btw, since what you, lana, and bardock find funny means little to me. no offense intended but thats the truth.
the fact is that you connected one stated point to your point. that was the intention. but i guess when the statement is taken alone you can fake it and say you never made that connection, and i'll give it to you. 🙂 <----see?
btw, the most annoying posting method is the constant use of '😐' especially when distributed throughout a post as some way to prove........well....prove what? thats they are not laughin or crying?smiling nor frowning? just sitting there typing with a straight face? well, most of us do that most of the time, so what is there to prove?

Yeah, I absolutely hate those straight face smilies.
