The Avatar avatar’s had a negative effect two times that I can think of (counting this one) but more usually I get wincing acknowledgements of the pun or shout-outs from other Wizards fans.
If you would like me to change my avatar to something you’d find less threatening, I’m certainly willing to do so. Say the word.
I actually hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it that the gun points at the icons of people I’m talking to - with our two specific avatars that does make a bit of a tableau, doesn’t it?
Edit: I was afraid I’d misaligned people and posts again, so I took a quick look at your comment history - am I misinterpreting this?
