interesting.
speaking only for myself i try to avoid making assumptions about people based on such an arbitrary thing as an avatar.
i try..sometimes i succeed,sometimes i fail.
i dont think anyone is immune from making an impression based on someones avatar and chosen name.
the initial reaction at least is almost instinctual,but through dialogue and commentary that picture takes on a much clearer personification of the individual.
so while i may take that very human step of assuming where a particular person may be coming from,i refrain from actual judgment until more information is provided.
i try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
i think we all choose our avatars and names to represent what we wish to portray,how we wish to be perceived.
everyone having their own motivations and desires and all different in their own right.
people fascinate me.
great post FG.

ty!

Is this clip a good replacement? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO6N_hdbY_o

My new most favorite sift ever. Good save, Eric.

Oh good! I hoped this would get published!

Edit #3: O! I found a DVD! If anyone feels like getting me a present...

I used to go out with a dancer from Lalala Human Steps. They're brilliant.
