And you still don't know how to use an emoticon.

Next time you're confused, just place your cursor on the emoticon and a word or words will display its purpose ---> (Roll Eyes - Sarcastic)

See how easy that is?

Although it is kind of ironic that you need words to show you what an emoticon represents, when the whole purpose for emoticons is to identify intent when a typed word or phrase is unclear.

Now, do you want to try again to claim that you weren't being sarcastic in your initial post to Jamerschris or would you rather continue to appear foolish by arguing the point?

If I didn't know better you're behaving like a troll. But then again what do I know?

It's at times like this that I wish C-D had an "anti-rep" button so that we could express our disapproval with a post just as we can rep one we like.
They used to.

Default Appropriateness of question on CD

To the OP: There was no need for a previous poster to slam into you that hard about asking your question here instead of directly to your employer or union, but essentially he was right. The validity and accuracy of information here should always be considered suspect because we don't know who the other posters really are, and what their motivations are for posting. Sure, over time, we come to accept some people as pretty solid, but in your case (with that kind of very specific question) directly from the horse's mouth (your employer or union) would be better.
