It seems to me that if you want to facepalm a post, then you should ask yourself why, and how do I respond in a meaningful way, that helps someone see a better response. Sometime back someone responded to a post of mine with the word 'facepalm' and the 'doh' icon.
I was a bit flummoxed but ultimately wrote a response explaining what I had contended in the post and why I believed it was a correct response. Sometimes we need more Barnabas (child of encouragement) than we need contemporary dismissiveness.
I have wondered once of twice if there might not be a 'heterodox opinion' icon for response, but I suspect I may have wandered into the sin of gross overuse if there was one, and realistically you have to either ignore it, or confront it rationally with 'orthodox opinion'.
