I recommend we delete permanently one of the smilies [View all]

Ok here we are discussing child abuse and domestic violence and on the list of smilies we have this:

I think we should delete it as in my humble opinion it is in bad taste after the week of events we have had.

I know we have huge issues to contend with, but looking for a smilie for another OP, I thought this was not a good idea to have anymore. How about retiring the smilie??????
