Rick, I started to agree with you. Then I realized that it's not the cute icons that are the problem here. Its the users and what they're allowed to get away with. Removing a funny icon won't really solve the real problem. I'd rather see something done to correct the bad behavior behind the icons. Here I have to agree. Icons don't harm people, people harm people.  |

It's funny.. but highly R rated to me ....  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

You are of course correct. That is the real issue. Exactly. Don't deal with the symptoms, but with the disease. |

Really? I'm a troll now for starting this thread? Good to know that's what you think. No, you are not a troll. But advocating removal of a reasonable smiley because it might foster ill will, then attributing dire motives to me because I use two smilies might be a tad bit of overreacting. I like smilies. All of them. I find the thumbs down the one I would use last, because I believe it has the most negative connotations. But I would never suggest banning it. I suppose (and expect) I'll get a thumbs down smilie for this.  | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
