Its funny you should mention intimidation coz intimidating was one of my initial reactions to that avatar when I first began reading MR. Now, suitably encouraged, its probably worth mentioning the actual thoughts that went through my head when I first saw it...it looked like some kind of weird BDSM mask to me, stern and fierce and menacing (which is hilarious, really). But now I can see its actually an oriental monkey mask (with a beanie!) and its now only slightly scary. I never did like masks.
It does illustrate the point of the thread though. You never can foresee how other folk will see you, no matter how you see yourself.
