Your assumption is incorrect, it came up on a Google Images search for the sorry emoticon

On occasion, you are allowed to disagree with a mod. The word 'knob' is interchangeable

I didn't get you into trouble at all. They had been around for months before someone got offended. But in the interests of a harmonious board....

Use the smilies as gestures when a post could be misread. the toothy grin ( ) is often used when taking the pi**, just as if you were talking to a real person you might laugh if you said the same comment.

And some people are offended by pictures of anatomy. Usually people are only offended by boobs (e.g Scubees Boobies... long story, but search and you might get the jist) but somehow find other areas not objectionalbe.

HTH
And take care when using the anatomical expressions 'Wizard's Sleeve' and 'Mouse's Ear' to add a descriptive dimension to your posts as this tends to be very subjective, (so I'm told).

I don't know either of those terms, but they sound rather useful. Could you explain?

Stuff that goes on:

a lot of chatter and some mindless jokes about going down, together with some ranting about the state of children/society/tea today.

Weird blokes talking codswallop

To DIR or to not DIR

Stuff that doesn't go on:

Diving
Sensible discussions about kittens
Beige
