Emotionless

It appears I missed a whole new trend in online discussions. Me! The queen (well, former) of IRC and forum discussion boards! Lately, the flamer on usenet! (It was one post and they really got under my skin, I already repented).

::emotion depiction::

When did this happen? It's not that I'm scared or bemused or even petrified by a new trend.. it's that it completely and utterly went right by me and I didn't notice it until very recently. What happened there? Am I no longer on the memo list?

Man, I guess this is what it felt like to our parents.

*sigh*

er, ::sigh::

I was under the impression that the ::emotion:: was from AOL/AIM conversations.

nothing good comes from those people (Not people who use AIM, but AIM users... aolers)

It's been prevalent on Livejournal for some time, too.

Wait! What happened to *this*??? I guess I have fallen behind the bandwagon as well.

I saw that a while ago. It seemed to largely be in the domain of people who used "LOL" as a punctuation mark so I ignored it.
