Haha. I figured I'd see that comment. But seriously, if there is a way I can disable them that would be cool. I was going to just PM Ringel because he seems to know about this stuff, but I think an open thread would draw from a larger cesspool of knowledge.
Sheldon, you and Blagger need to see an orthopedic surgeon to rule out why emoticons (especially the moving ones, right?) are annoying your eye's perceptual field and telling your brain they are annoying, period. You might try eye drops to see if they dull the sensation, and if that works, get your doctor to prescribe Restasis or an eye-calming agent that is used by sufferers of dry eye syndrome.
It could be an eye issue at the bottom of this problem.
Just sayin'.
