Guess you haven't realize how seriously people take the internet. Quite funny and shocking at the same time. I've seen people get hurt by the stupidest things and care about the stupidest things. Then there's the whole thing where what you (and I dont mean specifically you, but anyone really) say something and people it interpret differently, rather how they want to interpret it. Adding smileys makes it worse for people. Point is, without having a physical conversation with someone, you don't know how someone will read what you say and feel about it. They can take offense to it or they can agree with it or whatever. Basically I'm just blabbing, but people take the internet way too seriously.
