The Effect of Smileys

[Obeliskos]

It's surprising how much a smiley can change the intent of a post. For example,

"Fuck you, man. I hate you."
goes into
"Fuck you man. I hate you. "

Also, LOL DONUTS!

Indeed. I always use them to make sure people know I'm kidding on instant messengers, otherwise I have to go through a long monologue on why I'm not actually going to do whatever it is I said I was gonna do.

But that's the fun of the conversation! Making people guess whether you were joking if you really did kidnap and boil a baby alive!

Why the hell would you joke about that? You're using my accomplishments as a joke?

I know. It's so much more helpful to have smilies when you're joking. I also enjoy tags to help communicate how i feel xD

Similies can be quite useful as long as you only use the correct ones.
