Title: Emoticoms
Post by Aussie on Apr 30th, 2014 at 8:11pm
I did once reckon they were okay.  For the last several weeks/months I have deliberately not used one, and everyone still seems to thoroughly understand what I have said and meant.

There are some here who overuse them, I guess in some sort of attempt to either abuse or leave weazel room.

Who is in favour of a trial for say a week, where they are not available?

Let's see who can communicate using words.

I agree with nef.. what about the pictures....????..

they are worse than the smilies..

you know what I would like... no movement..I hate moving avatars.sigs call them what you will..

I move past as quick as I can..

its all about saying something without really saying anything at the end of the day...

but everything is irritating if its over done..

I use them sparingly, but sometimes they come in handy. You know what I hate? "xx" on the end of every text message - especially from people I don't regularly kiss. My boss's wife is really bad with this - she seems to add more of them with every text.

The best illustration of what I reckon is over-use is by Grendel.  Check his last 25 posts and you will see what I mean.

at least you havent had your ID spread across someones moving sig...

fort what ever reason it was never explained to me..however I never complained about it..

Grendel would be outraged that you called him a 'righty.'  He insists he is not.

But....tonight, he has made an obvious effort, and well done him!  His last several posts ~ no emoticom.   Here's hoping others follow his excellent example.

No deal.  You want us to just accept what you say because you say you are an old fart, and therefore some sort of wise owl.  Mr. P. Farian debunked that theory today.....and I am still bewildered how you managed to be a very Senior Office of London Plod, given you also told us you arrived in Australia when you were 19.  Yeas ~ no deal Mr Mitty.

Wow, I never saw that almost page of emoticons in response to Aussie's request to minimize their use, roflmao.

For the main part, given the standard of a wide range of comments in this place, I often find myself looking forward to reams of emoticons and/or pictures, they might not say much better than the garbage words used, but at least they might be entertaining.

More emoticons and less trash talk would be a happy compromise.

aussie why dont you complain direct to the ones that persist in this impossible behavior..is it because they are mostly lefties???>.

buzz being a veritable swine at doing it...lol...

its a funny thing about the computer aussie it has so much going for it..and on the other hand it has as many irritants...I guess what bothers one goes over the others head...its life.

But I didn't morph into anyone.

I just changed my 'nick' to Spanish instead of English.

No, I don't regard it as a 'sock', because it is my real 'nick', not a made-up one or a
bodgy derivative of someone else's (RabbitO8, anyone?). And I don't use it to troll
then revert back to 'Kat' and act all innocent. Nor did I at any stage deny being 'Kat'.

What has happened to SOB anyway? (and please don't reply by saying he was born that way)



he has probably morphed into someone else... thats how I found out what happened to kat...

I have no idea how you find that out...but some folks seem to know an awful lot about others..

so beware what you say...if I mention the s word I will be in all sorts of trouble..



But I didn't morph into anyone.

I just changed my 'nick' to Spanish instead of English.

No, I don't regard it as a 'sock', because it is my real 'nick', not a made-up one or a
bodgy derivative of someone else's (RabbitO8, anyone?). And I don't use it to troll
then revert back to 'Kat' and act all innocent. Nor did I at any stage deny being 'Kat'.




I dont think anyone accused you of anything anyway..

but yes you did change your nic..and at no time did you say.. btw I was kat .....

when I changed mine spell... I said so straight up..a long story why I did...but thats the point...

being identified... as old and not new..

I have noticed that a lot of people especially since they have gone all grand on us....have new names and its hard to tell if they are old new or as you say socks that are pretending to be who they are not..

one of the reasons I didnt recognise you was because there was no abuse.. almost normal conversation...I have always found it very hard to deal with you or shall I say kat... as it was all so nasty.. if someone spoke to me like you would write I would walk away... so thats what I do on the boards..I ask myself would I stay in the same space as this person.....

usually the answer is a BIG No..

but I am finding the new cat almost reasonable... ;)

I like the new changed nicks on the regular members. They've left their original nick in place so you can easily recognise them.

Although Kat is an exception - I like his new nick too. I thought he might have been a new lefty and we can't have too many of them here.

ho hum its got nothing to do with liking...

I think if you have nothing to hide.. let everyone know..not hard and its fair when you think of those that cheat and just change a letter here and there..but are not the same person..

someone hacked someones id and started a thread, as happened wasnt bad... but it could have been..same with almost identical IDs.

just saying thats all.not complaining..

my observations if you like.

Yes, it is a bit of fun seeing some of the Sir, Dame, Lord etc names.   Just a bit of humour that some - as usual - do not get.

George, Herbert, Gandalf, Pansi etc. are all quite obvious. There have been a few people over the years who have changed their nicks completely - probably not to be deceitful, but just hoping for a fresh start.

That's true and these pests are an exception. Most of them aren't hard to recognise though. They immediately target certain members and then their venom spews forth. Fortunately they're zapped fairly quickly.

I didn't think you were complaining. Just giving an opinion as we all are.

Not really, it's the same 'nick' just in Spanish instead of English.

It was just a fun change after I ditched the 'aristocratic' one.

Nothing more, or less sinister than that.

I did once reckon they were okay.  For the last several weeks/months I have deliberately not used one, and everyone still seems to thoroughly understand what I have said and meant.

There are some here who overuse them, I guess in some sort of attempt to either abuse or leave weazel room.

Who is in favour of a trial for say a week, where they are not available?

Let's see who can communicate using words.

Maybe it could be a thread for THE TAVERN: a conversation without emoticons and whoever uses emoticons doesn't get listened to  ;)

It's not a bad idea.. attack with ideas they say!

Hey, don't talk about my lady friend that way! I am helping her to conceive.
