IS it just me?

Maybe I am just a big old fuddy-duddy, but I really don't get people who have user icons that are pictures of themselves giving the camera the finger. I mean, I could see it for a pissed off icon, but your normal everyday one? Or worse, the one you use to post in communities?

Why would I want to take seriously anything said by someone doing the visual equivalent of screaming FUCK YOU with their post?

I just don't get it.
