If we want to cut down on the BS and rhetoric, why do we allow this?

Why does everyone refer to rhetoric as if it is a dirty word?  Rhetoric is persuasive speech, not a bad thing at all.  When we all start to agree with each other then we might have a problem.

Duh, that was damn obvious.  It sailed right over my head.  I thought he posted something about a topic I had missed.

Thanks for setting me straight.

They are not the moderators idea.

I never liked them,thus never have/will use them.

There are quite a few I think don't belong here,especially the copulating ones!

If they bother many of you, I could try to have them removed and replaced by two smilies having tea....or something like that. [;)]
Let me know,because I could care less since I have no use for them.

Icons let you say things in a gentler manner that you might hesitate typing out. The "bird"
is a universal symbol.

By the way......why the hell do you think you have a middle finger in the first place?? I really have little use for mine other than extending it to the appropriate dumb shit who truly needs to see it. It's a gift, not a curse. Embrace the gift, use the gift wisely and enjoy the gift.[-!-]

It seems to me that the majority of time when I see the finger icons being used, someone is losing their temper, it turns into a 3rd grade, "You're a bigger idiot than I am" contest and the thread gets locked.

Hey it doesn't bother me, keep them if you want.  I do find it somewhat hypocritical of some that when Anti leaves moderating we see this overwhelming flow of support for him in his vigil against the "immaturity" that pervades this board.

A flaming happy face with the bird is hardly mature.  It serves no purpose but to inflame.  It seemed to me that most wanted less flames, more dialogue.

Just a suggestion, do as you please.

I have to say that some of these "killing is fun" type things do seem awfully inappropriate on a pro-gun website. Don't present us very well to visitors.

Anyone simple enough to get "inflamed" over a small smiley face giving the finger needs to seriously re-evaluate themselves. Of ALL the things in life to get a rise out of people it hard to believe that anyone could get so wound up over something as minor as that.

Do you see me inflamed?  Hold on... maybe if I type slower you ... will see... that I am very calm... just noticing something... and making a point of DISCUSSING it.  Whoops, heartbeat went up when I put on the caps lock! [rolleyes]

Nah, I don't need to re-evaluate myself.  Like I said, do it or not, doesn't effect me.  Just thought it a bit inconsistent considering the stance the moderators have been taking lately, and all the BS they've had to put up with.
