If you are actually laughing out loud, it's ok, but who among us only writes "lol" or uses a laughie smilie when we are laughing from our gut?

me. I'm constantly laughing from my gut, and after I am done, I respond and use the purple laughie. When I giggle, which I do often as well, that gets the yellow laughie. when i snicker a bit, I write *snicker*. I think it's incredibly rude not to show someone who has just gone out of their way to say something funny, for my pleasure, how I looked when I was laughing at what they said. Simply the height of gauche.
