Which is why it's so important to make sure someone is just kidding before responding -- and/or to follow up in person if you're left feeling like they used the emoticon as a way to avoid owning what was really happening.

It's just so they can say they were kidding, pretend it never happened, and get through a tough situation without even confronting it. I know i've done this and all my friends do it too. pretty common. i think that the contradictory emoticons/phrases are so the sender can get out of saying the hard thing to say, like “I found that annoying” or “I’m mad @ you”.
