Something that's winding me up

I'm getting wound up by so called veterans of this site having whole threads just chocker block full of sh!tty little smiley faces. Are you that illiterate that you can't use the english language, and have to resort to some modern form of cave drawings? No wonder most of you have so many posts, most of them are probably some smug in jokey face.

who's gonna be first to reply with a smiley face then?

Nah, it's too easy.

But I'm willing to bet a lot of money that pretty soon this thread is gonna be full of smiley faces, laughing faces, thumbs up signs, etc...

Besides, I don't see the problem if some folks like that, it doesn't matter to me, I have lots of smaller replies, but it doesn't really change anything, since post count should be of no matter anyways.

I see the problem, it's fvcking annoying, it's like some kind of exclusive club of people who only communicate in a inane fashion. Also post count really does matter here, if someone with a low post count in anyway criticises another member or the forums themselves, they are immediately undermined due to their low post count.

🙂

I'm happy

both the same

It's not a club you can't get into though....if you feel like that is something you would enjoy.

And I never encountered that here in the GDF. What might be valued is the registration date, but post count is hardly important. There are some very respected members here with not so high post count, and lots of major idiots with high post count.

Who is the real idiot? smilies or whatever are a way of getting emotion accross to show how you feel on the internet because in case you did not realise, it's hard to do so using text. 🙄

If you have to resort to using a little yellow face to express your emotions and feelings, then just don't bother, they're not worth knowing about.

If I wanted to get across the emotion of a dancing banana, it'd be rather difficult for my limited vocabulary.

So I can use this little ditty... 💃

Complaining about it will not reduce the amount of smilies utalised, I am sure you release.

Also, just a question, I picked up on reading your post, does ''being literate'' only corrolate with being able to write English?

On this board yes. Though being able to read it, a feat quite a few regulars here lack, would be nice, too.

Also, it's "realize"...thought "release" amused me greatly.

No of course 'being literate' doesn't only apply to the English language. if there were posts in say French on this forum I would, of course, have included that in my example.

I know they are usually only in the off topic forum, but as this seems to be the most used section, it makes it all the more annoying.

Do you have a particular thread in mind?

I prefer to respond with something along the lines of: 😄

Rather than write out a six page description of happiness and my existential philosiphies on what that truly means.
