I really loathe when people use 'the look' Hmm when they don't agree with something said, it's bad enough in real life, but on a message board, don't you have the balls to spit it out?

just saying.

madhousewife · 20/03/2011 21:38

niggle - I know, bring on the emoticons.
mitch - we'd all be a lot less stressed if we could just say fuck you without being deleted.

SilverScarf · 20/03/2011 21:58

I think we need a sarcasm emoticon and a definite fuck you emoticon, rather than using the passive aggressive Hmm.

bibbitybobbityhat · 20/03/2011 22:03

I think some people overuse the emoticons, but I think MN is fairly restrained compared to t'other pinkypurple place.

At least the fucking Bears have disappeared.

MardyBra · 20/03/2011 22:38

Or maybe they haven't [ironic] Hmm
