    Well sure, but the occasional well-placed emoji can art up a comment too. The problem isn’t the emojis, it’s people using them poorly.

      Oh, I’m well aware.

      I wrote up a long reply to someone who essentially said “emojis don’t add meaning” about how this willful, and I do mean willful, ignorance about a medium of communication is kind of like rejecting the invention of technicolor film for being a frivolous gimmick. It’s a silly position to have, and I might even argue anti-intellectual.

      Buuut I didn’t want to seem like I was picking on the poor guy, so I didn’t send, haha.
