I do not have an issue with the smiley. I have had a lot of abuse SA in my life and PTSD also bad anxiety issues. I find the anger and off topic icons as triggering. I tend to think or maybe hope most people use them wisely and that Dr John thought this out. I do want to say I respect all the opinons but some just do not agree that doesnt mean they have invalidated anyone they just do not agree. Thats all. All have good points. I like the smile ....thats my opinion.
