Do you judge people by their avatars?
For instance, I think jpgray is kind of hot in a sneering bad boy kind of way.

I don't tend to relate to people with cat avatars. (ducking)
Except for Tom Kitten, of course.

2. It has an affect on their impression a bit
I tend to recognize Duers by their avatars first and their username 2nd. But I judge base on their text.

3. No!
That's DUMB! What a perfectly rotten thing to say! Nobody's ANYTHING like their avatar image. Now get outta here and leave me alone!

4. That's before I get drunk and smack you around
Then my band will all quit in protest, I'll replace them, and you'll still play keyboards for me. Go figure.

:shrug:

:silly:

13. This thread makes me feel guilty--I should change it back to Woody
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 10:58 PM by jpgray
(Not Allen, potential flame folk!) Or maybe someone very benign like Robert Wyatt. He was a disruptive figure too, though. :)

7. Of course.
Just as I expect you all to see how cool I am with a less-popular Devo album cover for an avatar.

17. Placebo, I have been trying to figure out who your avatar is.
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 11:09 PM by progmom
But you're right - I do. Your responses sometimes piss me off -- because your avatar looks so damn smug!

:hi:
