Ubiq,
Thanks for your lengthy post.
Doesn’t really explain anything though.
The addition of a smiley emoticon
A) doesn’t prove anything as it can be just to confuse you further
B) it’s purpose can be accomplished through the written word as well (whether to confuse or clarify its all the same)
As to your final question
Quote ”the rule clearly went a bit over your head,”
Aka your too stupid to understand.
Or did you not understand what you meant when you wrote that and when you went back and double checked your post?
I’ll sit back and await further enlightenment
