I don't find them offensive.  I also find them amusing and they can help put a point across really well!  I think most people just use them in their own posts about themselves or to sum up poor service somewhere, but could see that if someone commented on my post and used it about my post I might mind.

CLKD - all I put in was "advert smashing garden gnomes". Not much time needed there - I did it while waiting for a school report to save!  :na:

Not sure if I should be commenting on this thread but to be perfectly honest I think animated emoticons are the last thing on my mind.  I'm just too sick :crutch: some days -  I can't be bothered with things like this.

Hello all

Am I alone in finding the following emoticon offensive? :

 :beat:

I noticed this yesterday in someone's posted message, and it seems to depict someone violently beating someone else over the head with a hammer.

I really don't think this is very pleasant and it's at odds with the generally supportive environment of this forum.  Am I being too sensitive?

Best wishes
English Rose

Hi English Rose - that emoticon does accurately portray my feelings of exasperation in several circumstances. 

For example;

Pointing out to OH that the bins / recycling are done on Fridays - and have been for the last 10 years. This conversation happens every week, but it's a constant surprise to him.

Again with OH, banana skins are, and always have been compostable, and shouldn't go in with ordinary- non-recyclable rubbish.

With BT - when contacting them to report a phone line being out of order. Getting told to contact them online. But I haven't got any sort of phone  connection at all, let alone online. SCREAM

The "offensive" emoticons suitably represent my emotions
