Too much irritation to write a full intro, I think everyone knows what I mean.

I'd be strongly against any move to remove rolleyes, he's much misunderstood and is a lovely icon when you get to know him properly.

While it is annoying it's more annoying when posters use it at the wrong time. I would get rid of all the smilies.

Yes it's annoying sometimes but like I said I just ignore the poster now. It annoys quite a lot of people I think.

I get more annoyed about people not using it properly.

I'd miss it if it was gone. It tends to be a decent filter for weeding out (some) posts/posters that aren't worth reading.

I despise it and refuse to use it!

It works but sometimes you have to word your posts differently!
