They are creeping into FR, even in tag lines, I would like to see them forbidden.

I disagree; they should bevused sparingly, as text does not contain inflection.

Men shouldn’t use emojis.

Is that a reference to the Tim Blair classic from 2002 (regarding the recorded text messages between the shoe bomber and his mullah handlers)?
If so, I thought it was hilarious (and also refuse to use emojis).

I try to limit myself to old style ASCII emoticons :-)

“ Men shouldn’t use emojis.”

I agree with that in general. When I see MEN responding with multicolored hearts to some post on instagram, makes me want to throw up. However there are times when I feel the need to add a smiley because the humor or sarcasm in my post isn’t clear. But those are exceptions.
