Good heavens... no offense was meant by that; it was merely an observation.
Smileys can express everything from sarcasm to humor to the tempering of
what might be read as an otherwise harsh statement - seeing a smiley after
a statement does not always flag me to accept the statement as the opposite
of what the writer really thinks.

And, since it seems to be something that matters so very much to you, yes,
what you said was NOT incorrect.  :)

Interpret the smiley as you wish.
