Your Request To Become Friends Has Been Declined!

Just wanted to share a funny story with you. This happened to
a very good friend of mine. I can't help but to laugh every
time I think about it.

He made the mistake of sending a friend's request to some one
I would say was "anti-avatar". Not only did the recipient
refuse the invitation but he made it quite clear he was NOT
interested in developing a friendship with a freaking cartoon
character. Hahahaha! He only had time for people who didn't
hide behind a facade.

I think avatars are cool. I don't think everyone HAS to put
their own picture out there on the web. People are entitled
to their anonymity. I certainly don't think someone should be
read the riot act because they are using an animated avatar.
Come on now, who doesn't like those animated avatars?

Avatars allow us to express ourselves, promote our business
and show off our artistic creativity.

Should I base my friendship on some one's avatar? I don't
think so. Sometimes, it is the reason I befriend some
one. We share a common interest.

What are your thoughts? Have you declined friendships
because you didn't like their avatar?



Yes, I have been declined friendships requests as well. My all
favorite explanation was "I'm sorry I am not currently accepting
friendship requests at this time."

Geesh! I wasn't applying for a job!
