The smiley is redundant. I take no offence at being
branded a cynic.
"Cynicism: an extension of ennui maintaining that not only are you
bored, you are in a state of disbelief as well. And you cannot be
convinced otherwise... more than a pose; it's also a handy time
saver. By deflating you companion's enthusiasm, you can cut
conversations in half." (Lisa Bernbach)
"There's only one thing worse than being a cynic, and that not
being a cynic." (me, after listening to too many Python sketches)
