I am a little lost as to the use of the plainface smiley. I don't get what it would be used for. It cant just be for complete indiference...it has to be some kind of an emotional showing, but what? What kind of an emphasis does it make on a statment or question or what? How exactly is this little smiley supposed to help my online communication experience?

That is one use for it that I haden't thought of. Unfortunetly I don't play online poker & i most certainly don't play it on this forum. Still, that gives me an idea that I could use it when trying to bluff that I know what I'm talking about when I really don't. But then it would be more of a tell than anything else if that is all I used it for...damn, the frustrating plainface smiley...

And that is precisely why I need to find out the precise way in which it should be used. I don't want to disrespect the plainface smiley. I respect it as a graphic & as a person & think it deserves to be understood if it is going to be used in public.

You people are going to make me post three times in a row aren't you? Anybody else got a good reason to use the plainface smiley? All I have so far is that I can use it playing online poker (in a forum I guess?). I need more uses than that. That simply will not do. Not at all. Somebody out there reading this has got to have a good use for this plain little guy. Now help me out and drop a line in this thread. You know you want to & God will strike you dead if you don't so get off your high horsie and help me out.

It's called stoic. Look it up in your favourite dictionary

Stoic huh, I've herd of the word but can't place a meaning or definition to it. Here I go off to dictionary.com. Hopefully this will fullfill my quest for the appropriate usefulness of the plainface smiley to be revieled to me...

...alright so it is somebody that don't give a tadpole if they are in pain or happy or being thrown from a bridge or getting one of those "Grandma Full Faced Cheek Destroying Kisses" or what.

From that I suppose I could use it if I am in an argument with someone over something (as happens so very frequently when you have two beings encoding & decoding information in a conversation) & I decide it doesn't really matter to me at all what the outcome of the discousion is or what the reality of the matter under said argumentation, is.

I like that, a "I am not listening to you anymore" emoticon. Now that I can use.

But those aren't plain faces that you are using...

Don't think I've used it here, but on another forum, I've always used it as a response whenever someone says something so unintelligible that I don't even know where to start in correcting them... kinda like a "you're kidding me, right?" response. It compliments the rolling-eyes emoticon quite well.
