This is a stupid thread, started by DUmmy Cyrano, who reads franksolich, and wonders about himself being tagged Oscar Wilde:

Do you find yourself getting a mental image of what another DUer looks like?
A friend asked me this question the other day. I told him that what I cared about was ideas, not physical attributes. But I've thought about it since. After all, physical attributes actually do affect our lives in the non-virtual world.

I find that I do, in fact, often have a mental image of what another Duer might look like.

I'm not sure how much that image is influenced by how people expresses themselves.

I'm not sure if that image is influenced by whether I agree or disagree with the ideas being expressed.

I'm not even sure how much my opinion of what someone looks like has to do with their screen name.

Nonetheless, I know that I very often get a mental image of what another DUer may look like. Do you? And do you believe it affects your opinions or your responses in any way?

(Perhaps this is the start of a new thing called online psychoanalysis.)

The only reason I brought it over is a reminder on this link to a DUmp picture board:

You may find some familiar names here.


I was interested to see the head shot of that legendary ladies' man, the DUmp Stud, stevenumbers.

The "picture" of the large-proboscised primitive as Oscar Wilde evolved when the large-proboscised primitive lit a campfire whining that his cat had pissed on him in bed.

His cat had pissed on him because the large-proboscised primitive had pent the cat up in the bedroom without sanitary facilities.

What's a cat with a full bladder to do?

The way the event was described reminded one very much of an effeminate sort of guy suddenly leaping out from under the bedcovers of a canopied bed, shaking in indignation and shrieking at the poor cat.

I don't "draw" "pictures" of primitives; primitives "paint" their own "portraits" with their own words.

I'm not the artist, but the art critic.

Anyway, with the basics in place, the rest of Oscar Wilde came into focus; the ruffled curtains, the lace handkerchiefs, the big honker, the frilly sleeves, &c., &c., &c.

The gallery thread, since the copy/paste lost part of the address.

Yeah, the famous gallery.

In case anyone's interested, the HamstersfromHell primitive is generally overall most of the time what the primitives look like in real life.

Yes, I agree on the HamstersfromHell.  Also from that same page, kpharmer for the boys, and Lydia Leftcoast for the girls.

...


Every time I get a mental image - or see a real image of a DU'er , I need to flush the cache with copious quantities of ethanol.

I'd do GirlInContempt.

Wonder if she ever made it as a Suicide Girl?
Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Whatever happened to the female that had the red lips as an avatar? She posted her facial pic in every thread that she could. None were ever in focus. She took a position as an administrator at some university in North Carolina.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Those were still shots from her appearances on COPS.  Apparently she thought pixelation was about the only effect that was flattering to her mug.

Looks like a total psycho, actually.

In other words, about the way we picture him when we read his posts.

We haven't heard much from him in a long time. I often wonder if he ever got laid. I rather doubt it, because he surely would have posted a detailed account at the DUmp.

I just went and checked out their gallery. That's a bunch of white folks.
