It might help, whispering, if you can work on not personalizing the icon by accepting that it truly does not have anything to do with you, but is part of a function of this forum.

I realize that this may be entering the realm of technobabble, but if your browser supports adblocking extensions, you may be able to block the appearance of a disturbing icon/image (in this case:

I can probably help anyone who feels that this might help them, but doesn't know how to set it up.
BTW: Laurie, as you probably gathered by now
dustbin is what folks in parts of the UK traditionally put their
rubbish into. Then the
dustmen would empty them by hand into their
dustcart, or
bin lorry, where it would end up on the town
rubbish tip.
