I'm sorry if that's taken as a provocation but I try to use them to express my actual emotions unless being clearly sarcastic. Obi, nowadays, :) is seen a lot more as a provocation than a genuine feeling on the Internet. Which is kinda sad IMO. :P I agree... Considering some users want me demoted for using them. Even though I use them in completely innocent ways, like you, describing how I am feeling. It's really just the  emote that's seen as such, not ":)" itself. I agree but people even thought :) was provoking and rude on Div's blog about my demotion. But whatever. Once again they should be able to tell the difference. If they can't, that's their own fault and not yours.
