This might seem petty, but it's annoying to constantly debate old white men who can't seem to figure out how to make an avatar.
I honestly mix them up all the time.
I would prefer the forums not turn into the comments section of a youtube page.
In fact, I think that all members should have an avatar. It will dissuade lazy idiots from making profiles to peddle nonsense.
It took me a while to figure out what to use as an avatar. I finally settled on one of my own photos of a scene in my neighborhood. It doesn't have a deeper meaning than that, but I think it looks pretty good.
By the way, I don't get into many political discussions on here - at least not recently.
Everyone should have an avatar other than those default red and white ones. Seems half or more of the people on here have only them and no bio.
