    I hate this little fecker. This little condescending bollocks derails and heats up more threads than anything else.


    What sort of constructive use does he have other than to make comments that little bit more snide and condescending?

    I don't know. My conclusion is that connectionist models could, under a certain interpretation of what it is they model, be considered to be theories, but that this interpretation is likely to be unacceptable to many connectionists.

    Hate that smiley with a passion. First thing I did to my gf was remove it from her repertoire :P

    It's not that it's a bad smiley it's the bastardised use of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    A smiley of affirmation similar to this would be most welcome:

    We need more smilies, not less.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    yeah people who use it are pathetic.

    what we need is a trollface smiley. like a cross between big grin and pac man

    Save the rolleyes one!

    Hang on. Wasn't it removed for a while before? There was uproar about it! They replaced with a cyclops! :eek:

    I don't really like that one either - could we swap it for this one? :cool:

    Why are there two identical tongue-out smilies?
    I possibly hate the winker more than rolleyes.

    IMO, the misuse of the roll-eyes is what grinds people's gears moreso than the symbol itself. Sometimes there is stuff posted for which the roll-eyes was invented. I don't use it myself though.

    The rim-shot thing (you press a red button) now this - are you trying to subliminally sell sex toys, Stove?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008


    Hate the little prick. Worst thing is it's wont to be used most often by people who chat the biggest load ****e on these boards.

    This post is a real stretch. Sounds more like you're trying to subliminally buy them.

    Yes.

    It went

    Nearly everyone: 'Rar rar remove this smiley face!'

    Boards.ie : 'Alright, it's gone'

    Nearly everyone else: 'RAR RAR BRING IT BACK'

    only time its acceptable to use the rolleyes is in reply to a spammer who thinks he's blending in.

    Resorting to the roll-eyes just because of disagreeing with someone who has otherwise written a good post; not writing anything, just putting the roll-eyes symbol there on its own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    sometimes its a great one to see. For example, when a noob uses it in the wrong context.

    "I love my dog, he's the happiest little dog in the world and everytime I see his little tail wagging back and forth it puts the biggest smile on my face!!!!!! :rolleyes:"

    Time was that rolleyed bastard was used as a who-me, aw-shucks emoticon.

    Good few vBulliten forums have them, but I think if it was to become available on Boards, it would end up even more hated than the roll-eyes.

    I likes Mr Smirk smirkt.gif


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    I already hate facepalm smiley more than anything which actually exists on here.

    I think we need a hitler smiley for all those times admins and moderators are oppressing the masses.

    We could just do away with smilies altogether. Nothing wrong with seeing the awl emoticons

    Smiley assassinations I will have no part in though. Genocide or nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭101001


    ah splendid!! I never come over to these parts and just toddled over over to see what one could do about olde rolleyes. My problem with it is i dont know what it means....

    To me I read it as some petulant childs face tutting me and telling me im stupid... im wrong right?

    answer :rolleyes:

    its rolling your eyes to heaven... i havent seen people do this in real life since i was 12. Can we revoke peoples rolleye rights? thatd be great. AH sure what do I know :rolleyes:
