Sometimes when people have avatars of humans, my brain pictures that person writing the post. Normally only when it's an ugly dude though.

Look Viking you're a trash Trump supporter what the fuck makes you think you can have an avatar that isn't what I decide? Shut your fucking trap and go away. Your trolling is tiresome and just shits up the forum.

I browse with avs off because they're too distracting and in drug addled stupors I end up zooming in real close and thinking they're posts

Honestly when a whole bunch of people have the same av it's a pain because I have enlarge my phone screen a tiny bit to see who it is.

Didn't you first get it when you posted that thread about the noisy kids in the pool? I always figured it was an "HOA Nazi" thing because you caught a lot of razzing for that.

Honestly the fact that I used to have opinions about posters beyond vague "the stuff this person says is generally ok/dumb" was troubling to me. I turned off AVs entirely and now unless someone is going out of their way to make epic bad posts across multiple threads I usually don't have much thoughts about specific posters anymore. I think that has improved my forum's experience.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I'm relatively sure I would have kept thinking that one guy hosed his dog even if he changed his av/text, but I might have had to be reminded "yeah that's the dogfucker" instead of just seeing it on the tin.
