Why I can't sig bet (am I crazy)

Oddly enough I've only made one sig bet in my time as a member of the UFC forum. While I wasn't bothered by the fact that I lost, as I was well aware that I was choosing a long shot, but what did bother me was the way having a signature visually distracted from the aesthetic of a my posts. It sounds a little neurotic but the visual appearance of the words on the screen has a strong impact on how satisfied I am with what I've contributed. It's very important to me that it is somewhat succinct, interestingly worded and that the post doesn't look overly busy. Sometimes I even prefer to use limited punctuation even though it's sometimes not grammatically correct because it just looks more appealing. I also like to make statements in groups of threes so you might have noticed that if I'm insulting someone for instance it will go something like "you're an inbred, cousin screwing, halfwit"...I just find three to be the magic number that expresses how strongly I feel but without being overkill or reeking of effort.

 

So that's the story behind why I can't except sig bets. I know it sounds strange but that's just the way I feel. I'm curios is any of you have any similar quirks when it comes to your posting style?

Ill sig bet you on any fight, if you lose you just have to fill your sig with punctuation marks of different colors.
