just don't use them! this is not hf. this is not your home. this is not a place for regular smiley use. consider yourselves guests in someone else's home. i want you to take your shoes off, so take your fucking shoes off and stop being impolite in my fucking house.
being a rude bastard here is fine. being wholly inconsiderate to the style of this place is unacceptable, and if you people can't get that through your minds, you'll be contributing to the death of what this place has always been to those of us here since the beginning. the best of us will most likely migrate somewhere else and you will remain here, in hf-refugee land, with the likes of all the l-gers who tolerate you mostly just for the cam photos you post of all your underage-looking, teenaged bisexual glory. in the likelihood of that happening, a big sarcastic "thanks a lot!" to you, and you're welcome.
