Those darn emoticons!

[buzzrelly]

Does anyone besides me get annoyed at the overuse of these things throughout people's posts??????

Ugh...I guess I'm just trying to prove a point here. But seriously, I find the overuse of them throughout text extremely distracting. I think they are cute and all, and 1 or two well placed emoticons certainly have their place but some people go crazy with them!

Ok...just a vent...I'm done! Anyone else??

Hmmm ... so I take it you will never visit or join us on the smiley thread.

 

[buzzrelly]

Ugh! Is that for real? Count me out!!

 

[Imzadi]

Umm, No. I love all the smileys.
I think the Webmasters do, too, as that's why we have so many.

Disney is a very visual experience. And so is typing on computers.
And they are called emoticons so we can understand each other better , ,
as we converse with each other.

Hmmm ... so I take it you will never visit or join us on the smiley thread.

You are on a website made up of fans of a theme park based on a mouse and people who run around in cartoon character suits you are surprised the perky people here like smileys?

I like smileys, without them a great deal of what is actually good natured goofing around would come off extremely hostile. Like now, how can you tell if I'm annoyed or amused?


I'm amused... doesn't have the same pizazz as a simple "goodvibes" though does it?

 

[buzzrelly]

Boy! People sure do get offended at my dissing the smiley faces! Just to be clear, as I said in my original post I think one or two are fine but when I open up a thread and there's a big, long
paragraph and between every couple of words there is a smiley face, I click out. I can't even read it. Just not my thing...

I actually really like them! When I'm posting on facebook or in my email I always seem to be wishing I had the variety of cute emoticons that we have available here on the DIS!
