Personal pictures as avatars should be disallowed on debate.org.
If this site is about ideas, then there is no need for faces. What a person looks like has absolutely no bearing on the validity of a point so why introduce that data?

Im all for this because I love to text. I'd rather Text someone than talk on the comuter, and sit in one place for several hours. I can talk to more people through texting and continue conversations for hours and anywhere I go. Computers I like to use for watching videos on youtube or downloading new music. So...
