As boring as this will sound, I agree with the first poster. Serious dudes don't emote.
In which case, a dude might not give an F.
There's something weird going on here, like when a bunch of kids are playing freeze tag, and there's one kid trying to attach some kind of scoring system where players can advance in rank.
Or maybe this isn't like that at all, and that would have been a more interesting post.
I was that kid. I was never happy with the current state of things, and was consistently accused of making things more complicated then they should be. "Why can we just play?" They'd say.
