Does It Ever Seem That People Can Get Away With Stuff On These Forums Simply By

.... using the :P face? There Have been a few times where someone has said something offensive and put a " :P " after it and nobody cared. Sometimes i feel as if the :P emoticon is abused imo.

anyone else feel the same way?

:P

Yes, it is abused and used to get away with things.

...its great like that. :P

Meh. I sometimes use it, and sometimes don't. Most of the time, humour in something is lost when that is added, in my opinion. As such, I don't use it in that manner. I rarely, now at least, have anything offensive to say to anyone or about anything that's moddable.

I must admit.. early on, though, I used it to save my ass a few times. :P :lol:

I believe this topic was already brought up you are extremely late. O and the obvious yea I saw that coming in my post :P

MediumBread lives life with a great automatism. :)TheMutableOne

Damn straight.

I detect a servere case of sarcasm in this thread..... :P

Well not really, because that shows they are joking.

That's not getting away with anything. It just lets the mods and the poster know you are just joking around.

That's probably true. The :P smiley is supposed to "lighten things up". :P

I had sex with your mother... :Pflipin_jackass

:P

I'm going to murder your family :P

I had sex with your mother... :Pflipin_jackass

It means you're joking when you say something, so it isn't meant to be serious.

[QUOTE="flipin_jackass"]I had sex with your mother... :Pneedled24-7

:P

My mothers dead, not funny now is it? ... :Pv13_KiiLtz

With the correct smiley, sure it can

[QUOTE="flipin_jackass"]I had sex with your mother... :Pv13_KiiLtz

I dislike each and every one of you...

Well, yeah. It's just like saying 'lol', it takes away the seriousness of what you said.

"I think black people should burn in hell"; prepare to get flamed.

"I think black people should burn in hell lol"; oh, you're just trying to be funny. Not too funny, but I see where you're coming from.

Lol, you a very silly man. Silly, so silly. :P

Yup, even the mods have said the emoticon can make a difference, depending upon what is posted.

Oh, and lest I forget..

:P

:lol:

The :P implies that someone's just joking. Example: "You bastard." Compare with: "You bastard.:P"Theokhoth

Oh yeah, and i hate all of you people and your sarcasm :P
