That may be so, but just because you put a few smileys behind it doesn't mean you can say anything you want. I believe that is what Beau is trying to say: "sure, I saw the smileys and I acknowledge that you were joking, but I still think you shouldn't have said it"
Do you see the difference? [img]smile.gif[/img]
I mean, if I were to call you a complete and utter moron and put a "
" behind it, that wouldn't make it right for me to call you that. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Not to say that I agree about your comment; while it was quite unfriendly, I don't think it was that bad. I just wanted to point out the problem with seeing smileys as a wildcard to say anything you like. [img]smile.gif[/img]
