For a sarcastic smile, I'd use 
For the smiley face, it's just a smiley face. I generally interpret it as making a sentance 'soft'. Like...
"That's enough " is just a gental reminder to go back on topic, wheras:
"That's enough." is more what you put when you're closing a topic

Compare the current smiley (v2): 
with v1.3's: 
Any of them look sarcastic? I find the current smiley a bit 'odd', but maybe I'm not used to looking at it, yet.

Since I've been beat on for being blunt in my replies, I tried to use the smiley to lighten things up. I've been told that my usage of it seems sarcasmic though 
So it seems that people see it differently everywhere. I'd like a "you're number 1" smiley for some uses though :-"

To me, is more or less a generic greeting type smiley.
Of course, I'm spoiled by having so many terrific emoticons to choose from.
I use
to say, "As if..." or "Yeah, right..."
For me, gentle would be
A more stern warning would be

I consider "rolleyes" to be a "sarcastic" smile myself.
