WOM...I don't remember any specific reference to the removal or not of the 'puke' icon...but I certainly would endorse its removal....it's asinine and puerile.....and certainly unwarranted in skin comments....

Jafo, like I said, it's been some months back and things start running together, but I think frogboy didn't want to remove it. Might have been another admin, not sure at this time. But why don't you bring it up. It is very tasteless in skin comments. It's the cowards way out. To easy to put that icon than explain why.

Here is an example of the puke icon in action.Is this a bad way to use it?

Like that or this:

the emoticons were really meant to augment and narrow the interpretation of expressed words. ( is that blatant barb serious criticism, or just good-natured teasing ?) words alone are woefully subject to misinterpretation in direct proportion to the reader's paranoia quotient, and the degree to which he takes himself too seriously. not that i've ever felt insulted, mind you...

( is that blatant barb serious criticism, or just good-natured teasing ?)

Now that seems to be the main complaint does it not?
That has surely been my downfall in popularity with certain people.
Hey, Hello!
I'm kidding...
Is that so hard to accept?
Is that so demeaning to you?
Hello!
Grow up.....

Now that's really cool... wow, I'm impressed.

I knew someone would do that sooner or later.

I can't stop laughing

Hey LOSER! Just change U'r name from WOM to MOM!

Djcplatinum here is some on you Loooooooooooooser

How do you respond to impetuous children.

I wish for peace and love in the new year for all of us....
Is that so hard to understand?

Djcplatinum....I am watching you.

Hey lighten up guys Humor is good for the sole.

/me wonders how many of us can change our names to MOM?

well, we got MOM1 and we got MOM2 and we got a plethora of momishness....

I'm a very mature and resposible 39 year old. Trying to enjoy life.

where did this thread go wrong?

Not you Iben.

It went right its the most active tonight thank god

Now I see why that child is upset. Tried to help his on his thread and he didn't like the answer. I guess he wanted me to make the skin for him.

This thread could live forever.

Iben...your example was OK...at least the comment wasn't pointedly 'nasty'.
WOM's example was just some ignorant newbie [note the member number] who had a jammed caps-lock button as well as being overly negative...

and the beat goes on....
