tell us the broad strokes of what kind of avatar elicits what kind of perception
Umm...my posting style and avatar are meant to be complimentary, but they're only representative of a small part of me IRL. I figured their were too many try to be constantly funny posters. (My original Bill Evans tar was a more sardonical style that I abandoned lest I be judged as a cynical asshole.)
There are myriad threads analyzing avatars in the lounge (e.g. the once popular "Comment on the avatar above you" and monthly discussion of which tars give away shitpoasters [i.e. Mean Girls, Simpsons, Philosophers (bar JRR), American Psycho, Friends, et cetera]. So, I'd rather not venture deeper though I have a lengthy screed about avatars constantly floating in my head.
