Use of "smileys" - accurate or not?

I have noticed that some people use the

To me it usually indicates that whoever disagrees with them has no valid opinion, and it really gets on my nerves, I think its damn rude.

I love the ninja smilie and placed alone can say so much however to place the sleepy/bored smilie on it's own is very rude.

IMO, the rudest smilie is the rolling eyes. So I only use it when I want to be rude!

I don`t use smileys too often.
But I hate the roll-eyes one. I know I will never use it.

The eye roll one makes me feel stabby. You're right though, the smile one can look dead sarky, especially when someone's being patronising.
