This might sound ridiculous...

On another Forum I was allowed to include a picture for my "Signature".The picture I was gonna use was that of Mike Tyson.I thought about it for a while,and even though he's my favorite boxer,a lot of people dislike him for obvious reasons.For this reason I decided to go with another picture as I felt that a lot of people would sort of ignore my posts and such because I like him.Was I just being paranoid,or could I be right.Please share your thoughts.


P.S. While I'm at this,I know Mike is a criminal,and certainly lacking in morals,but people should recognize his uncanny ability to box(Ear biting aside)and what he did for the sport.I don't find Heavyweight Boxing nearly as interesting without him.

Thank you.

Although an avatar does kind of represent you, overall it doesn't mean much. Avatars are chosen for many different reasons and the truth is not many people would probably care.

Re: This might sound rediculous....

On forums that permit custom avatars and sigs, I don't ever ignore someone based on avatar or sig alone. Yes some of them are annoying or of stuff I don't particularly care for, but usually I try to listen to the person behind the images before I make any judgement on that person.

Unless it's anti-gay. Then I ignore them right off the bat.

Yeah, pretty much my thoughts on the subject.

I do like custom avatars though. It helps identify the person easier. Luckily we have so many to choose from here that they don't get mixed up. But I can only find two that I liked.
