[Gallagher]

Considering the limitations that forums have, I try to pay attention to the use of emotes. Humans are very, very visual creatures, and one's facial expression and body language can completely alter how a sentence is taken. It's something that just can't be mirrored in text alone. Emotes are a good, if still inadequate, way to get more of that across. -shrugs- As are actions like these. A lot of little details we tend to register without being able to... pick them out to explain with quite as much ease.
