So i know that the scratch team doesn't like arguements, flame wars, or people getting mad at each other. So my question is why they include the mad smiley face, when it shows hostility and makes the other person feel either guilty at provoking such an emotion, or riles them up to retaliate.

Why? I am just curious...

Maybe the intent was for it to be used for sarcasm or as a way to avoid text flames? I have no idea, nice question!

I think it can be used to express frustration at anything, not necessarily another person.
Example:

Hypothetical poster said:
Ugh, I just can't get this script to work right!

You're such an idiot!

Aw man, Rebecca Black crashed my computer!

Different wink

That is likely one of the reasons.

60 second rule.

This is a random question...

I think it's just like why the [email] tag is kept...

Good.
They haven't changed "produce" to "produces" for the smiles though.

But that isn't important...

The ST has to consider priorities I guess:

1. !!!!!!!! Scratch 2.0 !!!!!!!!
2. Fixing the censor problems
3. Other important stuff
5.Non-urgent Grammar-Nazi things
6. ???
7. PROFIT!

I used mad because they are in last place mad (though it is too early to worry about standings tongue ). See, there are many uses, besides for flame wars.
