ghostworks Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 What say you? Do you find it is necessary to explicitly denote a 'funny' post with an emoticon, or do you feel your 'funny' post will speak for itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until this forum reaches the 4th dimension, I feel the clickable smilies are good Especially when there seemingly could be a question on intent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 If you post something sarcastic without a smiley, people won't understand you were being sarcastic. On the other hand, some people are emoticon happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. exactly! face to face is best. telephone is second, because you can still hear intonation. email is an accident waiting to happen. i like to think emoticons add a little back.

nettiesaur Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Things can be taken out of context when solely in print, so the emoticons help relay meaning that you can't see on the person's voice or hear in their inflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilCastro Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 No they are not necessary at all Why would you think that? It's crazy that people on here have such an obsession for them It's like they're in love or something Weirdos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DotS Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 lol! i hate emoticons. except i love it when some one says something like "you're a total asshole" or "go f**k yourself, then puts a next to it. so then it's an insult with a built-in pre-emptive "I WAS ONLY JOKING!" disclaimer. ..............LOLOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
