Yes, suddenly it's a problem. A fake mole hill that you're trying to create a mountain over. I just bumped the thread where you told Denny it was fine. You get a chuckle out of it.
Also here are the private messages we've exchanged.
It appears that over the 9,300+ private messages I have been a part of you and I have only exchanged 23 of them over the years.
So let's review:
According to Denny that emoticon has been named after you for over 10 years now. Easily provable that it was long before my time on staff.
You said it was all good and get a chuckle out of it. Nothing about it being insulting or a crazy person or all of the BS you been talking this weekend.
You're making claims of us having conversations about it via private message but, I'm sorry, I don't remember all 9,300+ conversations but in searching for your name in my in box shows that we have not had a conversation about it.
So you sir are just making up fake outrage over something that never bothered you before.
