Angry Disturbing Trend... stop it!

I've noticed over the last month or so that a lot of you "regulars" have uploaded avatars that show your faces.

Stop it.

I want to be able to curse and hate you, but when you have a human face it's much more difficult for me to do so and that makes me ...

It's like in the army, they dehumanize the enemy so they're easier to kill. Stop making it hard for me to 'kill' you.

Plus, most of you are ugly!

^&$^@ mondays.

So that's just for "regulars" correct? We newbies are allowed to be eaten without clothes... I mean masks?

No. I was specifically highlighting the 'regulars' but you must all stop. If I can see your newbie face I may feel sorry for you and not bitch-slap your image properly in a critique.. we can't have that can we?


I should have been clearer. All of you stop it. I don't ask for much.

Yeah,..but you can't really see my face. You see my hair more than anything. You can see my big nose, . Damn Cherokee blood.

But before I critique someone, I always look at their profile... you know, just in case there's a warning there that I shouldn't... and there I see this:

So, you fit this new regulation I'm going to push for!

Excellent suggestion, and I think I've struck upon a solution that should help on all fronts. I'm going to use your avatar. ;-)

Happy Monday!

Holy sh!t, you confused the hell outta me. When I first saw the post, I saw my avatar and thought "huh? when did I type that!?"

hahaha... well done. And in fact, I think the world would be a better place if we all did that (ie do what I do).

My work is complete here. ;-)

BTW, I expect this new avatar to be a limited-time engagement, so enjoy it while it lasts. In the meantime, we may have the makings of a movement. Fuzzy Monday, anyone?
