There is more to the story: Apparently "no emoticons" was a rule I wasn't aware of, and when I tried to explain that I didn't expect there to even be a rule like that, I got put in the fools' rank. And yeah, the other people got kicked too, and not because they came to my defence, but because they decided to use emoticons as well. I was more incredulous than mad! Not like I gave them a real reason to kick me... Ah well, a few friends I did make on there are going to start up a small FC. Am I the only one whose had drama? I expect people to throw their toys out of the pram in dungeons and raids, but over emoticons is just... It's just laughable. Anyway guys, thanks for the replies. I feel better for a vent. (Hope nobody minds the tongue face.)
