Not that I could conceivably take offense at the simile...Sylphisonic wrote:No offence, but it is extremely un-endearing behaviour. Like a 17-year-old, know-it-all intellectual me...
I wouldn't stress it, Sylph. Another week or two (at most), and I'm departing the Forum for the summer.
And no, your post has nothing to do with it. It's the Hounds of Reality yapping at my back and nipping at my heels...
Such is the soul in the body: this world is like her little turf of grass, and the heaven o'er our heads, like her looking-glass, only gives us a miserable knowledge of the small compass of our prison. - Bosola, in John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi

Bad reality, reality is poopy.
I would rather have smilies than not cause you know more that the person means well, and isnt being snarky.

Yes, but the crime is when the people somehow make the smilie offensive, because you are right, they are usually tools for good... It is... well... a cardinal sin or something. Taking nice smilies and using them for ill. Leave the poor smilies out of this- the only ones that are meant for evil, for irksomeness, or for other foul stuff are the grumpy looking ones or the devilish grinning one. And maybe that rolling eyeball one.

Hey! I'm sure one or two of you have been looking for the a net picture of the painting that Aramaki had in his office when he said that Hindu quote. I did a lot of digging and found it in several sizes. enjoy!
