Only an extremely stunted intellect would answer a question with something as ambiguous and childish as an emoticon. Are you saying… “I can see you Waverly, you are above me [as is appropriate.]” _or_ “The answer is written on the underside of my protruding brow, but I can’t quite make it out.” _or_ “I don’t have a coherent response, please accept this smilie as a symbol of my acquiescence.” So which is it? C’mon. Give me another smilie. ---

Dude, why are you getting your panties all in a bunch? Are you obsessing over what somebody writes on a message board? Because, you know, that’s pathetic, so I am told. If you want to continue your little diatribe, go ahead, I have other stuff to do. Chill dude. Are we clear? Have a nice day. Oh, I almost forgot. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Waverly \* > \*\*Only an extremely stunted intellect would answer a question with something as ambiguous and childish as an emoticon. \*\* I disagree. I believe emoticons are powerfully expressive symbols. For example: :mad: ☹ **:o / 😛**** KK** 😕 :wally Is far more elegant, expressive, and concise than “It angers and saddens me that I was never the recipient of oral sex or a salad tossing from our dear banned KayKay. I wonder if I she considered me unworthy?” 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > Ok, now igotit, maybe some of you are the ones obsessed over a message board to this extent that is pathetic. I don’t see people making sock-puppets to come back and bash any banned poster. If there were, I would agree with your summation. As there is not, I fail to see how your attempt at high-horsery has any merit. ---

I noticed **igotit** had been banned, didn’t recall seeing her do anything wrong. Did a search, found nothing. Assumed the mods had things well in hand. Noticed no mod had posted anything about it. Thought about it some more. Figured it out. Guys, isn’t the point of banning trolls/socks _NOT_ to call attention to them? Here’s an emoticon for you: 😕 Gee, what could I possibly mean by that? Oh, and FTR > [@](#): > > Are we clear? :rolleyes: has perfectly obvious meaning to me. And it doesn’t involve a ‘stunted intellect.’ Here’s another one: :rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Beeblebrox \* > “It angers and saddens me that I was never the recipient of oral sex or a salad tossing from our dear banned KayKay. I wonder if I she considered me unworthy?” Agreed; that was some wonderfully communicative emoti-phrasing. Oh, see everyone’s favorite distilled spirit has offered his weighty opinion. I think I am changing my mind to his way of thinking… errr… wait… no. It was just acid reflux. Or in terms the textually challenged can understand: :wally ---

I noticed that **igotit** had been banned, as well… my first thought was perhaps she had been baneed for posting all the stuff about anal sex. It was not until I read these posts that I realized that she might have been trying to return under a different name. In either case, banning her was something that had to be done, IMHO. (especially after she was told to cool down on the subject matter) I thought of doing a search, but thought it wouldn’t really acheive anything. Oh, and I read her name as “I-got-it”… whatever the “it” was is best left to conjecture. ---

I think I am changing my mind to his way of thinking… errr… wait… no. It was just acid reflux. Holy stunted intellect, Batman! Gee, **Waverly** , that’s a real sparkling show of wit, there. It was _so funny I forgot to laugh_. No, no, really, you changed _my_ mind with _your_ weighty opinion. Fuck off. ---
