Is it just me, but do anyone else feel like their reading a posting from a child with all the dozens of handy emoticons inserted? I counted today 20 icons in just one post. Yeah yeah the smiley face is cute but where do we draw the line? Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, so shut the **** up!!! Enough with the childish emoticons. Grow up!!!

if i'm in a curiously cute mood
if i'm overjoyed because it's friday..
if someone says something silly and funny
if my chatroom friend needs a hug...
me describing me..."opalstar"
the cool informed me
maz's alter-ego
when the group disbands in the chatroom and one wishes to leave a "fuzzy feeling"...
and so on and so on and so on..... so "what the fuss?"

I guess it wouldn't seem so childish to me if I subscribed to cartoon network. Aren't there any adult emoticons? Reading some of these post is like reading a Dr. Suess book.

If YOU don't like to use emoticons, then by all means don't use them.
But what's it to you if other Orgers wish to use them in their posts? If you don't like someone's posting style, don't talk to them.
But you'll miss out on some lovely people.

Hey JW, good to see you back.

Is that emoticon acceptable?

Anyway, where you been lurking?

Oh I've been around, got bored with the site a bit, then thought I'd come back and ruffle a few feathers here and there.

I must admit that some of these orgers on now days are so easy to ruffle.

Note-example thread on Chaka's defense of Whitney.

I think I want to marry Blackbuddy.

Haha, I'm going to go look...

You know that if it is within our power, we are peaceable w/ all men... sometimes, it's quite outside of our power, I guess!

This place would be even more boring visually without the emoticons
