Maybe you just need a rewatch? I know some things don't sink in for me right away, plus, they're still exploring this dark Emma stuff. We'll get a better, more complete explanation. Besides, Gold said some stuff in the recent ep that applies, I can't remember off top what tho XD

Well perhaps it is not your intent to come off passive aggressive but I have never seen or heard of anyone confronting someone they thought was being rude with so much of a smile on their face that they cant even open their eyes which, "XD" implies just that. (That you are laughing or smiling so hard you cannot keep your eyes open.) I never in a million years would have guessed what is normally passive aggressive or sarcastic in real life is now "genuine" on line but I'll take your word for it since I admittedly am not a "chatter" who uses "internet lingo" I just use plain English that I know everyone can understand. A smiley is also not the clearest form of communication (nor any form of communication as far as I've ever seen or heard of) to let someone know that you think they are being rude, so I'm not sure why you thought that would emphasize that point. Since you quoted only me in your comment, it was only logical I assumed that your ";)" was directed towards me as well but I am glad that you cleared that up. All in all, I apologize if I came off rude as I was just being sincere, honest, and was confused. I'm glad we cleared this up and I hope this doesn't happen again.
