And therein lays part of the problem, there is no single agreed definition of what the emoticons mean, lots of people have different definitions. I personally would not relate your definitions to the emoticons, it's much better to explain a point of view in English.

You wot mate?

Its quiet easy, just use the sad emoticon for things that are sad, a death, an injury, etc

Use the confused emoticon for the latest stupid immigration decision.

 

The sad emoticon isnt there to show disappointment if someone isnt participating in a Thai bashing thread

 

 Thaibashers complain everything, everyone. Not only about thai.

Before covid a lot of thaibashing threads. Now is other a lot. Lefty and hard right, Black and white, statues, cartoon character voice, Trump, old care homes etc 

 

These people not know how have positive conversation. Same old woman with mental condition.

They criticize everything. But sensitive so much if recieve criticize. Same baby.

I believe all that does is to hide the ignored users posts from YOUR view, it doesn't hide your posts from their view.

'Diffrent culture. I not know any old Thai man send/care about smile/sad/confused emoticons.'

 

In that case I've just realised I'm not Thai.

The only different culture I know about is buying strawberry yoghurt instead of raspberry.

ALT F4 is a good alternative to misusing the sad/confused emoticons.

Try it next time you disagree and go to use sad/confused key, hold down Alt key then press F4.

 

It will give your contribution the respect it deserves.

Need to keep the funny one, too.

Careful, Trillian won't be sure if that's 'funny ha ha' or 'funny odd'

I post mainly on the subject of economics and finance because I work in that particular area plus I enjoy it, I post on the subject because I know a fair amount of things about it that are potentially useful to others and I want others to learn from what I know, IF THEY ARE INTERESTED. 

 

I also learn from others from time to time, I mostly enjoy the occasional quality debate that can be had on the subject. Interestingly, most of the sad emoticons I receive are from people who never enter the debate, never post information on the subject and judging from their other posts, probably don't understand or have an interest in the subject or the posted material.....why is that I wonder. I'm sure if my chosen speciality subject was how to help the impoverished rural in-laws and relatives or how to build a garden wall, things would be different. But because the subject is finance and economics some posters act as they do.

Emijons usually keep me out of staff trouble, as my words probably would.....

 

To me emijons are the same as reading someone's face, eyes, glare etc..., Just sends a message, after all, that's what they are there for.

I have had a few stalkers who follow me around just to plant a "sad or confused" emijon, no words, on any ol' subject, but they don't realise I feel quite humbled at the attention...
