Why's this still around :pat:?

All I've ever seen it use for has been to either patronise or bait or both. I know a proper debate's good now and again etc etc but when someone brings out this smiley you know it's become less of a debate and more of a crap-hurling contest competed in by people who can't argue a case to save their life. It just seems really condescending and makes everything seem quite personal (I haven't seen as much of this recently but when it's bad, it can be really bad. Like, there's a reason some people have requested to put particular sub-forums on ignore)

I've never seen it used constructively and I don't really get why there's a smiley that encourages more nastiness in a place that really needs all the peace and calm and love and general Patsy Kensit-y vibes that it can get? Maybe that's just me idk.

i agree

that little red guy looks so sad

:pat:

I only ever see it used during on-season in the BB section tbh, and rightly so

It's only a smiley, and it's a good one at that :cheer2:

It's Jay passing fat people on the street...

:pat:

I like it because it makes people fume

:hee: is even worse

:hee: Is the smile of innocence and naivety.

I used to like it but I've grown to harbour an intense disliking for it, axe it asap

:hee: is a little patronizing tho tbh

Is it though? :hee:

yeah :nono:
I don't like being patronized

:hee: is perfection

Bless :hee:

bigoted filth, shame on you

..I see what you did there, Luke..

Leave our Pat alone

its a scandal and encouragement to bait members and should be replaced forthwith

:nono:

also get rid of that bloody flower one

What's with the sudden urge to ban all the good things about the forum :hee:

I wasn't aware people wanted me banned :hee:

:pat:

classic pat use right there.

I thought you knew :worry:

How long before :worry: is targeted for the axe :worry:

its :omgno: that i am :worry: about

in terms of baiting and trolling :dance: and :cheer2: are the big guns that are pulled out during onseason, poor :pat: is a mere bystander compared to the other two :nono:
