did you write that note about your own ad titles

Your name is inextricably attached to your profile as a staffer. You don't need a picture to not say anything you wouldn't say IRL or on facebook. You could also, you know, just have self-control.

I don't think I've ever commented on you using your picture as an avatar

It's not about you. Anyone would receive the same treatment.

Okay? That's because no one wants to read people advertise their stupid shit. It's a separate forum for a reason.

So if you're so against it and you want to be a nice person why do you need a name and photo of yourself attached to do so?

I'm strongly against internet anonymity. Internet bullying (which trolling turns to far more often than people care to admit) is a very real, very damaging thing - I've seen people self-harm as a result of internet bullying.

Solution? Removing the anonymity of the internet. I don't say anything on AP.net I wouldn't say on my Facebook, and I don't say anything on my Facebook I wouldn't say here - so why not keep them as closely matched as possible?

You realize message boards are the lone standard for a non-personal-pic-avatar, yeah?

You're acting like attaching your real person to this account is what keeps internet bullying (presumably from you) to a minimum. It doesn't make sense. If you're against bullying then you shouldn't need some kind of negative incentive to not do it.

Also, LOL at Pat's use of mob mentality again.

it is not the same amount of clicks. i am not trolling. this is not what trolling is. i know you're going to see the post, it's your thread.
