I must sya that I feel quite offended whenever the smilie is being used. It gives me a feeling that the author is blaming someone. Maybe it can be removed?

Are you nuts? That's the most important smilie!! Why would it be removed just cos you think it's the 'blame smilie'? :rolleyes:

Probably because most people incorrectly use it.

It is supposed to be a sarcastic smilie, but most people seem to think it means look up. :rolleyes:

I use it all the time to point out arbitrary and illogical posts. So I think it is necessary.

I think we could solve the problem by making it a gif animation where the eyes actually roll. And isn't rolling your eyes an act of dis-respect anyway.
As momma always said "BOY! Don't roll your eyes at me!"

Like this one? http://www.geekvillage.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif :p

Anyway, this is a rather pointless thread, I can see more objections if the puke smiley was implemented. We woule be getting trouble reports galore if Peo agreed to that one :rolleyes:

Thread closed ;)
