Avatards

Ah, a brilliant Red Barchetta.

Apparently this is still confusing for you. **Mijin **nailed a good part of it pretty well, but I’ll expand, too.

I am able to recognize some handful of the most active and notable posters (notable either positively or negatively) after having been active here for over a year. I still have problems keeping certain people straight (especially the ones with similar usernames), and there are still users who even though I now remember them required a hell of a lot of posts of a certain kind for me to remember some relevant bit of information about them.

For instance, right now, in this thread, I keep conflating you and bucketybuck.

I know that you think they’re stupid but aren’t necessarily advocating that we not have them. The point is that you keep making retarded “arguments” instead of just shutting up at “I don’t like them, but I don’t care if we have them.”

Your “minor potential harms” are all so far beyond WAG territory they aren’t guesses so much as something you came up with by throwing darts at an Ouija board.

If you’d prefer to use gendered pronouns, I’m female. Which has been pointed out in a very large number of threads. Which you might remember if you had an avatar to associate with my name.[/del]

You new kids are completely ruining our glorious board. I don’t think we should even have the ability to bold, italicize or underline. We should strive for uniformity in all things.

I don’t wanna wear a uniform.

Now let’s see…

I’ll just post without an avatar.
…Won’t stop me from being an [COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]asshole.[/COLOR]

Casting my vote for avatars with boobs in 'em.

What are you, 12? :rolleyes:

No, I’m male. A distinction without a difference, I’ll grant you.

I hear jokes are hard to get. Confirm/deny?

A little green rosetta.

Everybody in this room is wearing a uniform, and don’t kid yourself.

Agreed, including the content of our posts…starting now.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again - if we exempt Great Debates, we might have a winning proposal. Leave all the Big Brains out of it, and maybe they’ll let the rest of us have fun.

You know, even if formatting were turned off by default, so long as there is an option for others to turn it on, the board would still be terrible, because all people would ever talk about was the formatting.

If we only could attach :rimshot: sound effects to our posts this would all be cleared up.

Not to mention the chaos and confusion that would result when users constantly change the typeface they use for their post. One day, they’re posting with Trebuchet, the next with Arial.

Also, what kind of people do you suppose will look at this forum and say to themselves “I will rather post somewhere else instead, because I can’t change the typeface, color, size or style of text?” Probably not many, but it stands to reason that filtering out such people will elevate the average level of discourse. And it really doesn’t take a huge amount of shit posters to significantly drag down a forum.

We can already attach rimshots like my wife attaches her fat tuchus to the couch!

Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.

Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They’re worth it.

My wife is an earth sign. I’m a water sign. Together we make mud.

I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

My wife will buy anything marked down. Last year she bought an escalator.

I’ve been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If my wife every finds out, she’ll kill me!

My wife loves to shop at Bloomingdale’s. I bring her mail there twice a week.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! I’ll be here all night. Try the veal.

Probably a good rule of thumb for everyone that if it’s **Bosstone **replying to me with something ridiculous, it’s a joke. :smiley:

What joke?

:smiley:

I should make this my signature until we can get avatars: ( . Y . )
