This Diary from BFSkinner got me thinking. Whenever I see a post from somebody here that talks about a Meetup I always want to look at the pics. A person I think is smart and spot-on, what do they look like? That person I never agree with, well they must look like a "troll" right?
Never, not once can I recall a time where the "mental" picture I had of them correlates to reality based on just their screen name and comments.* I may be alone here, but I tend to (not even thinking about it) to form a visual of a person based on their comments. I am always so far off, often I don't even have the freaking sex right :).
I find this to be interesting on many levels. So below the fold a pic of myself. And if you feel comfortable, how about a pic of yourself as well.
*Kind of wish I could go back to grad school and do some research on this topic ....
Well here I am, "webranding":
When I posted this in another thread a person I've talked with here in hundreds, if not thousands of comments said:
I'm working on a brain re-configuration. Absolutely not the image of you I had in my head ....
I know how she feels. I kind of hope she means that in a good way. You want to step up and put a pic to your screen name? I mean every Diary doesn't have to be an April Fool's thread.
