I'm just saying if your opinion (no proof ;it's just what you think) is that he doesn't have feelings, my opinion is that it can at least manufacture feelings when it's in the shape of Yemi. He doesn't talk in a monotonous tone like a robot. Yemi's brow furrows and his inflection goes down and his tone becomes stronger when he says, "You talk to me as if I was your brother." Those are natural facial expressions and inflections when anyone becomes angry. Now that doesn't mean that I think it is the smoke monster itself that has emotion. It could be whoever is controlling the smoke monster's feeling and emotions coming through the Smokey. Think of the Great and Powerful Oz and the man behind the curtian.

Right... if someone is controlling the mosnter then yes. it directly would go to that persons emotions... you are still assuming that the smoke became Yemi and learned to speak... and then switched back to fist form smoke to do the death dealing...
i still think that Yemi was all in ecko's head. Just like when Locke saw ecko talk but that was in his head... The smoke just does what it does.... kill fools... we havent seen it do anything esle, except stalk fools its going to kill...
