Which means: No emoticons.

Due to recent posts and pissiness, I am suggesting a symbolic abstention from smiley usage on an as of yet undetermined day in the near future.

My proposal is for this Wednesday, the 14th, as it is in the middle of the week and the Off-Topic and Current Events masterminds are less likely to be on their usual drunken prowls and thus less likely to betray their commitment.

Language Luddites of the World Unite!!

Roll call below for those willing to chase this holiest of holy grails.

============

P.S. (You are under no legal obligation to refrain from mocking me with multitudes of smiley's below, but if you are willing to take up the challenge, sign your name in virtual blood and, and...excelsior, dammit!!)

I'll sign on. I'm an emotionless zombie anyway.

PuHAHAAH!

I posted this late last night, so I am definitely bumping it for the Sunday morning/afternoon crowd.

Peoples: we need action!! This is the real Rise Up!! thread.

I am generous, and the original thread title was a bit misleading, so I am giving you all one more chance to take part in this grand initiative.

SIGN UP!!

(P.S. I already linked to this thread in the "Most Boring Topic Ever" thread, so don't bother.)

I'd like to say that I am proud of you all.

None of the threads I have scanned thus far this morning have shown signs of the surly little smiley's and I believe the level of communication has improved greatly.

Of course, it seems that more than half the threads right now are comprised 50% of the various bytchings, whinings and other menstrualations of Jinju and patchy(both tend to avoid emoticons) but whatever brings us closer together as the creatures of communication that we are.

I love you all.

Except you Tibby. You suck.

You're simply trying to coax me into using a razz emoticon, and I will not fall for your juvenile ploy.

BTW:

FYI:

If you by any chance--by mistake; through an oversight--use an emoticon today, editing it out is perfectly, perfectly OK.

I am very forgiving. You all should be too. Yeah.
