I try to be fair, but I find myself having to fight the urge to ignore those who have custom made to offend avatars. Some are very witty, but some seem made to offend, yet some of the most offensive avatars mask some of the kindest people.

I agree with you; some avatars reveal the person behind them, so when I see one that's a swastika, or a naked person, or something else designed to shock and/or offend, I realize that I'm dealing with an immature(at least) individual.

I Do Get Offend When I We People Using Native American Mascot's, Like the Red Skins, or Cleveland Indians or Braves.
People that have NOTHING to Do With Native Americans Using the Name and Avatar of Pochaontas then Talking about Mulsin issues I know that's Wrong!!!

Only those who have pornographic avatars. I judge them to be ignorant, crude and disrespectful--and imagine that's a reflection of who they truly are. As for the rest, no--I mean, I'm a kitten, but it doesn't reflect who I am, except maybe to insinuate that I love animals. Which may or may not be true. (Okay, it's true! LOL)
Edit: Ok, I'd like to amend my answer. I also would have to agree with Jack. Some avatars do reveal certain predjudices.

All in all, an avatar is just a mask that people wear on the Web... So judge the people for what they stand for and say, not their avatar.

Yes, and I should really know better considering how I'm nothing close to my avatar. However, I've come to accept that judgment is a part of life. It's not like I hold it against them permanently or anything. It takes a lot to offend me.

I really enjoy the various concepts in avatar design and quite often, I believe that the avatars do represent the person,to a large degree...as far as judging whom I believe the person to actually,represent...I listen to the words that they speak...what is in the heart of a person,will eventually spill out of their mouth. No one can fool the crowd forever,not even the silly trolls

I judge on the quality of the answer. However, I have been judged on my avatar and it is from a TV show from the 80's go figure

Not always, but I bet you can get a light hint at my personality from mine - I think it is really sincere in how I fell about a particular president.
But -other than that - most of them are plain jane book covers that don't give you a clue about the person, some are there to create deception, on & on ...
So in general - no.

Every time I get a violation notice, I change one piece of the avatar (and this avatar looks NOTHING like the one I started with).
