Is it a surprise that his avatar looks like a juggalo?

Far from "juggalo", sir. And what would that have to do with the question anyway?

He was calling you dumb. Just saying.

Right, I understood that. But it failed. It was a simple question with a simple answer. If it was an attempt to be funny then it failed and had no relevance to the topic at hand. He saw my avatar and assumed based on his past knowledge of evil looking clown types that it was associated with the "juggalo" culture, which include mostly ignorant white teens who are into a stylized form of hip-hop associated with the Insane Clown Posse. While saying this, not having any knowledge of Sid Haig and his character portrayal of the character of Captain Spaulding in the Rob Zombie movies: "House of 1000k Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects".

Being a fan of Sid Haig's work before and after such portrayals of this character, but enjoying them nonetheless, I have added it as my avatar. Again, nothing to do with the topic at hand. This long, drawn out explanation might be seen as convoluted and unnecessary, and perhaps taking it too seriously. All the while feeding his trollish comment. However, I feel it was slightly necessary to dispel any connection between my avatar and the "juggalo sub-culture". The two are not mutually bound. Also, any relation that has to my intelligence is not based on anything other than me asking a question regarding my account and its link to my IP. I am familiar with basic knowledge of networking functions, but I am far from an expert in the field.

Seeing how IP's are monitored to accounts on this server, I wasn't sure of the relevance to my location in accessing my account. Thus the purpose of the thread.
