Not to worry, tudorcity...
There will be a method by which to electronically "reverse" the slap...when "peeled away" it will resemble a "talk to the hand"-like gesture...
I will choose to (mis?)interpret the ~"smiley face poster slap" statement as applying only to those who post nothing BUT smiley faces--ever (i.e. in each & every post). Though first, prior to issuing "the slap", I think we should inquire as to whether their keyboard has only 2 or 3 functioning keys (a colon-esque "something" key, maybe a Shift key, & something involving a parenthesis, perhaps). Given the evidence that they could post, it would seem safe to assume that @ least one aspect of their mouse was functioning (imagine what a fright it would be if they didn't already have a bookmark to FlyerTalk or something else from which they could jump to it). If they had a fully functioning mouse, w/ right & left click functionality intact, it would seem that they're "good to go" re: entering text...if they can highlight & copy/cut/paste, they've got the alphabet & punctuation @ their disposal, thanks to our numerous & flowery posts!
