A guy with a picture of a goofy tiger on every post he posts wants to lecture me on role-playing?

That would be me, although it's actually a goofy Smilodon, which is from an altogether different genus and subfamily of felids than Pantera tigris..
Setting paleozoology aside, there's a rather novel concept in computing called the "graphical user interface" (GUI), which employs the use of icons. Some, I'm sure, will always feel more at ease with text, and there's nothing really wrong with that.
