Can we have a more dignified "crying emoticon"? The sobbing/rubbing eyes one

[RadiationTherapy]

seems overdramatic and undignified when I see it.

Does anyone else wish there was some other way of "emoticonning" sadness/tears?

4. I like Sobby

He/she conveys just the right amount of either melodrama or whininess, depending on the context and/or point of view.

5. If you want to be dignified, don't use any emoticons.

9. That made me laugh.

:rofl:

Because it is so succinct and true.

6. There's more alternatives.

If none of the DU emoticons seems just right, I go here. Right click, properties, copy address, paste here.



BTW, there are many other websites where smilies can be copied. This is just the one I prefer.

18. Okay, I'm trying it.

19. Mighty fine, you've got it!

7. Just Google "Smilies"

and you'll get dozens of sites containing hundreds of options.

8. I don't think the words "dignified" and "emoticon" can

actually coexist.

11. Sort of like...

Dignity and George W Bush

10. LOL

I'm sorry, I just had to laugh at this.

An "over dramatic and undignified" EMOTICON?! It's an emoticon.

[RadiationTherapy]

12. Yikes! Hahaha. Lots of hilarious responses.

Such an uneventful walk to work...

I don't use emoticons at all; I posted based on how I felt about others. But, yeah, silly concern. The recent spate of suicides among young gay people have had lots of these crying-cons, and that was, specifically, my motivation to use the word 'dignified'.


So, I meant well, but understand how small it sounds now. Thanks fnord the laughs. RT

16. You want dignified suffering?

Run this through a jpeg to ascii converter - that should git r done.

17. Oh.... you don't like the "crying" emoticon?
