It depends on the context whether it's smart to use it or not, obviously... There's a difference between using it in a malicious way to someone you don't like and using it to retort a good friend's teasing in a tongue-in-cheek-way. Either way, I never use it myself; not exactly my style.

There's a lot of difference. "Mooning" is purely humorous, but flipping someone off has a highly insulting meaning if it is clearly not done in jest, with a friend, or at least someone that you have done a lot of sparring with. Like Groj, I do not use it, at all.

I've seen it used in rants about things not related to IW or it's posters, and I've seen it used as some of the others pointed out above, in complete jest and obviously not meant seriously. It's when that or any other comment/graphic is used to add to flames and insults that it becomes out of bounds.
I, personally, don't use it in my posts. I'd rather avoid any potential misunderstandings and same as Groj, it's not my style.

I've used it once or twice. Hopefully it was taken in good humour
