New emoticons...wtf?

[Paul7777x]

I’ve just noticed that the new emoticons have introduced.the prayer emoticon for thank you.........

Has this place been over run by the religious nutters?

What was wrong with the universally accepted thumbs up?

Nothing religious about it.

It's a well known sign for 'thank you' around the world. Very common in India.

Xtians use it to indicate pray.

‘Ooh, what can I get offended about today on the internet?’

 

[Paul7777x]

?? Who said I’m offfended Mary?

I’m incensed if that’s what you mean...

I happen to loathe and despise religion and god botherers. The creeping kind most of all.

I'm incensed

Calm down and don't be so bloody ridiculous.

 

[Paul7777x]

Ah, an Irish fellow... catholic much?

 

[DrPhil]

Lol, are you drunk?

No I'm not a Catholic but it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference if I was.

You're trying to make out that Avforums (which is run by an extremely vocal anti-theist who loathes religion as much as you do) is subtly bringing religious symbolism onto the site as a means of "creeping evangelism".

As I say, ridiculous.

You're seeking offence/anger/outrage where there is none warranted.

 

[Paul7777x]

I’m not seeking to make out anything. I assume you meant imply?

I was asking if...

Ps, good news about the owner. Now I’m happy.

 

[DrPhil]

Now I’m happy.

Yay!

IAG, May the lord salt your raw testicles.

 

[DrPhil]

Maybe this was a scam, just an elaborate way to up his "thanks" count by luring people into thanking him because they think it will annoy him?

 

[Paul7777x]

A spot of overthinking there Phil. But an interesting notion...

Thank the

Blimey someone needs to get out more, people never seize to surprise me with what they get worked up about...

Ok... I’ll bite. Where do you spy any irony?

Its more than a high 5 than a prayer.

 

[arenaman]

[Marv]

Isn’t it a “high five” icon?

It is what it says it is... No need to read anything else into it.
