And sometimes they confuse me. I am wondering why you are so embarrassed. I see nothing embarrassing about it. I hope that was just an example you were using there.

Well, I seem to use a lot more than many other people, and the use of (a lot of) smilies annoys some people.

I don't, but people have interpreted my written words as harsh in certain debates. I would assume that "harsh" means "intimidating" or "hostile", when that's never the case when I'm discussing an issue. I simply feel that facts and logic are much more important that sugar coating something so someone feels emotionally safe or neutral.
