Mods: Can we get rid of the :rolleyes: emoticon?
Points
Counterpoint
Thoughts?
- People on Flyertalk are good enough at condescension to begin with
- The emoticon usually does nothing but make the person using it look like a jerk
- It does not promote discussion in any way
- It helps threads that are emotional to begin with, degenerate more quickly
Counterpoint
- This emoticon is a nearly foolproof way to weed out the douches and lame-o's who think they're clever
Thoughts?
