Post vs. Mood

[skreidle]

Given that, in general, the text of a post reflects what the writer is feeling/thinking at that time, I find it very incongruous when a users makes a post that's all sunshine and light and then has a Current Mood like "Annoyed".

(Case in point, from a recent community post:

I'm New...
Hello everyone I am new to the Community. I am a Photographer at the Sears Portrait Studio. I love Photography and would love to learn more about it. I hope to talk to you all soon. :o)


current mood: annoyed)

Them's mixed messages. It ain't just LJ.

WTH? I didn't think that was a woman posting..
*ducks*


*ahem*
I mean to say that whether you're feeling a particular emotion (annoyed, in this case) or not, if your displayed mood isn't reflected in your post, it just confuses people.

If you could campaign to fix this in general, even beyond the scope of LJ, I'd like that. Gotta go to the root of it.

Nah, I'm only interested in a short-term LJ fix. The rest makes life.. um.. interesting.
