And finally, pettiness

Bah! Its all in good fun
I was afraid that if I said it, I'd be told that my past experience of smileys was invalid in the current community
@Phineas: Well ofcourse Phiney. Firstly, you have completely missed the point of what Illysia has been trying to say with all those smilies. Secondly, you are a fine one to bring up smiley over usage, as you keep treating her as a giddy girl who could not possibly know what smileys are for. She has been at this long enough to have seen most of what you have. She values your views on smiley conservation whether she agrees with it or not. She would ask that you show the same courtesy.
Further, she never said you have no clue how to use smileys. You are apparently just not registering the need to change the number of them per post in light of the fundamental change in the game community's gheyness. If you are all that good at using smilies, you will be able to adapt with less "it's the community's fault for being fairies" reasoning. Complaining about it does nothing, becoming gay and wearing frilly underpants to get around it does.
Also, earned or not, you need to get over the fact that the you and the players you are familiar with are not the only ones to have the ability to use smilies. Whether you like her smilies or not, they are still valid and in most recent cases as good anything in your posts. She has some credibility here whether you wish to acknowledge it or not. More importantly, She has been working on specifically how to get around not having "enough smiley usage in the community" instead of speculating on how to bring back the good old days of smiley abuse.(well, at least now. she admits she did the same thing earlier but she has gotten over it) She'd be less likely to sound like she is against anything if you would stop going on about what the community was, instead of accepting the fact that it's simply full of little girls now. Oh and might she mention that mentioning Agara was not name dropping, She has no need to name drop, She mentioned her because Agara was important to her being a drama queen. Whether Agara abused smilies or not, if it wasn't for her Illysia would have never overused smilies. She was the first person Illysia started interacting with regularly and it lead to her starting to use over 9000 smilies per post.
@Illysia: No offense meant madam
. I couldn't resist after phiney's comment.
