To want to ban the [hmm] emoticon?

[GordontheGopher]

It just makes me feel really small and pathetic when people post it in response to something I've said. .

Maybe I am being oversensitive. Maybe others who feel like me should help me start a support group? MNers Against Nasty And Gratuitous Emoticons (M.A.N.A.G.E). I'll be chairman.

ar-haaaaaar! me hearties.

I am not being entirely serious, and you might miss it unless I do this.

I am being somewhat lascivious, and this is pretty close to a leer.

I am not completely comfortable with being that lascivious, though.

I am a new Doctor Who Monster.

No, really, you've got to be kidding.
