We're frequently being reminded that MN is a 'forum for support' and there is nothing supportive about this face Hmm

They don't mean you should be mindlessly supportive of everything you read.

Hmm
Justanothersingledoutnumber · 25/05/2017 20:24

There's nothing supportive about 99% of the site.

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/05/2017 20:24

Yabu

Oysterbabe · 25/05/2017 20:24

I think it's needed sometimes. There's no need to be supportive if someone is being a total dick.

BarbarianMum · 25/05/2017 20:24

Not all threads are about asking for suppirt though, are they?

Highalert · 25/05/2017 20:25
Hmm
araiwa · 25/05/2017 20:26

aibu is not about support- often people are wrong and making up stories

many of the other sections are for support

BadTasteFlump · 25/05/2017 20:26

Ok so it's not just unsupportive - it's the most annoying face I've ever seen and makes me want to punch something.

HmmHmmHmmHmmHmm

Grin

But it's my favourite face! It's good for so many things.

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 25/05/2017 20:27
Hmm
Justanothersingledoutnumber · 25/05/2017 20:27

Punching someone isn't supportive.

Maudlinmaud · 25/05/2017 20:28

What's happened now?

TresDesolee · 25/05/2017 20:28

You can't take away the humphy wee face!

Highalert · 25/05/2017 20:29

Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm

SpikeGilesSandwich · 25/05/2017 20:29

Not everyone directs their Hmmat other members though, often it's a part of the point you're trying to make or the story you are relating, i.e. My MIL said this... Hmm
I find it very useful and miss it in regular emoticons tbh.

DejaVuDieter · 25/05/2017 20:29

Hmm is my all-time favourite emoji and I'm sad my phone doesn't do it. It is perfect for so many occasions.

BadTasteFlump · 25/05/2017 20:29

I said punching something, not someone Hmm

Punching something is not supportive.

In fact if you punch away the supports of something like a seaside pier it woudl collaps.

oddthing · 25/05/2017 20:30

agree that face is crapola

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 25/05/2017 20:31

What's the matter with the Hmm face op Hmm

Justanothersingledoutnumber · 25/05/2017 20:31

agree that face is crapola

Then what is

💩

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 25/05/2017 20:32

Now, this? Easter Smile

This you can get rid of.

mynotsoperfectlife · 25/05/2017 20:32

I think this one Confused is ruder.

It makes even a simple sentence look like "you fucking dick" is at the end of it.
