I read the first three words & thought "aah North, Im beginning to like that fella!" & then I read the last three words. Now I hate you again.
Its a double edged sword though, isnt it? I use two emotions on you at the end of my post, & you complain that thats too many(im guessing its cos you cant work out if im joking or being sarcastic & laughing at my own sarcasm) & then I dont use emotions when talking to North in the next post, & although I could be joking, it looks as if I am being deadly serious when I say I hate him. In other words, you cant win! I think its all about getting used fellow posters character traits, sense of humour & their idiosyncrasys. Keeping friends on ESB is a tough business, cos its so diverse that every post you make is under scrutiny. So think about that next time you pull me up for posting one too many smilies! & the fact I have used no smilies here, does that mean I am being serious & giving you a telling of for pulling me up, or am I being respectful & talking to you as you wish, with no emotions/smilies whatsoever? the permutations are endless my friend, endless!!!
Emotions are a sign of weakness. I have even ceased my use of "smiley number 2" (the one that often expresses you have found humour within a post you are replying to, or indicates humour within your own post).
Its all about opinions my good man, howzat for a cop out? (& of course, predictable **** that I am I used a cheeky wee wink smiley at the end just to joke my way out of taking this awkward discussion any further!) Why? Cos thats how I roll!
He's a sour Hamed fan who is delusional about what Hamed *could* have been capable of physically but never accomplished. But as the others have said, he's redundant and his material is weak, but not really a pest.
I am not keen on the excessive use of exclaimation marks either. But it is undisputable that emotions are a sign of weakness. Just look at all the best people in history. Roger Federer, Hitler, Thierry Henry...and so on - all show little emotion. So using excessive smilies should really be bannable on forums like this.

"undisputable that emotions are a sign of weakness" - how bizzare, also, Hitler described as one of the best people in history.... You do realise that even in jest thats pretty tasteless. Unless theres another Hitler aside the nut bag who persecuted millions of innocent people.

Oh, HARRY Hitler, that emotionless strong character - get ya now. -------------------------------------------- "O... Mr Hitler...... any relation?" "Well, Ive got a mother ??" "Oh, no, i ment Adolf..." "yes, thts her." (dating agency in bottom) ---------------------------------------
