No, IYHO I am being obtuse. Instead of writing something that you don't
mean and then plonk a smiley after it, why not just write what you do
mean?

Or rather, "I am attempting to make a comment which may well offend but
I hope will be received as a joke".

It isn't that I don't get it, it is that a smiley is still ambiguous,
for the reasons listed above. Your comment in reply to this:
And I quote:
> > Does an emoticon make a contentious comment suddenly
acceptable?
>
> It can.
End of quote
...means that sometimes "It can't". So adding a smiley does not always
have the same effect. Hence, a smiley is an additional source of
ambiguity rather than something that always makes meaning clearer.
It is also clear that the effect of the smiley depends on the way the
reader interprets the smiley in the context of the preceeding comment.
