[implemented] Remove "angry face" from a sad face input in chat

Since sad faces have been asked for but not addressed would it be possible to *not* have the angry face come up when we say :-( in chat? Cause otherwise it's all like

Your friend: My grandmother got carried away by wild turkeys.
You: Really? :-(

And you want to be all like "I am sad your grandmother got carried away by wild turkeys!" but your avatar is all "Really? Why the heck are you telling me this? I do not care about your grandmother! I am now angry with you rarrrrrr."

  • Agreed. This is a persistent mismatch of intent and result.

  • I agree with this completely.

    But more importantly, tell me more about these turkeys who carry people away. Do they prefer grandmothers or can they be persuaded to take other relatives as well?

    I never quite understood why they assigned a pissed-off face with sad.  Inevitably, when I'm talking with someone via local and make the mistake of displaying my sympathy with  :( , it looks like I'm upset with them instead of expressing my anguish at their situation.
