It's not being hypocritical. It depends on how you use those smileys. In fun, yes. If it's to insult myself or someone else, then that's not acceptable. Smileys are used to help people determine the mood and tone of your post, since we're all interacting over the internet. That's why I asked who they were directed to. You never answered my question, by the way.
