Okay, I'm gonna need some help here.

[conuly]

It's like banging my head against a wall, but more painful. And if I'm going to keep wasting my time on this futile effort, I could at least get a little company there.

I mean, I'm not wrong, am I? My facts aren't wrong, are they? My thoughts aren't missing a crucial point, are they? This person IS being willfully annoying, right?

HELP ME OUT HERE I FEEL SO ALONE.

Also, I didn't know this as I don't really follow celebrity anything (I'm lucky if I know who a certain star IS, much less what they've done and why people care) or watch many movies or TV shows (I do watch TV, of course, but I seem to limit myself to three or four shows. If I add a new one, an old one inevitably drops off my list), but I'm realizing it now by looking at these pictures...

WOW does that girl look like her dad. Will Smith? HIS DAUGHTER LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.

It's sorta creepy to look at, but I'm sure as she gets older it'll be more her face and less her dad as a young girl. (Kinda like a kid down her block who looks spookily like her grandmother... or she did at four. Creepy seeing a four year old who looks like a 50 year old woman, but now that she's 12 even though her face hasn't changed, it looks like HER instead of her grandma.)

Kudos to you for clarity of thought and expression, as well.

(I had to go back and look at her icon to see what the problem was. If it's a reference/celebrity or something, I don't get it--all I see is an individual screaming aloud. Annoyingly, no doubt.)

Thanks!

I don't know who the celebrity in the icon is either, and if someone told me, it wouldn't help because I've probably never heard of her. But it's more than just 'an individual screaming aloud' - annoyingly, no doubt, because almost all screaming aloud is annoying - it's a white, bottle-blonde, trendily-overdressed female individual screaming aloud.

As such, I suppose she does make a pretty good poster-child for a Two-Minute Hate, but whatever reason one might hate her for, the fact remains that she is just an icon, not the real face of the writer. I have a bunch of deliberately annoying icons myself, but they tend to feature giant squids and such, so no one mistakes them for the face of Me.

LOL, at least I hope not.

...her icon is white?

*checks again* Funny, I thought it was a bewigged or bottle-blonde light-skinned person of color.

But yeah, icon attacks are the ultimate ad hominem angle, and I tend not to notice them at all, just skipping straight to the text.
