Picky about Insignificant Things (letter, people, words, great)

[robinhood]

Why is it that it bothers people when you make your font look different? I can understand if it is a color that may be too light to read, but what does it matter if I type in bold like I am now? It doesn't appear to be hard to read . In my letters, calendars, and spreadsheets I make at my job, I use bold a lot because I find it easier to read in certain fonts. If I need to emphasize something I either underline it, color it, or change the font. These font options are available for our use. As long as its not difficult to read why should there be complaints about a poster making their post look different? I find it hard to read posts with 15 smilies throughout it. I haven't PM'd the poster to complain though. Everyone has the options to make their post look original. Variety is the spice of life.

"Variety is the spice of life". Amen!!!!

I don't know why people need to pick about nick pickin' things? It's odd to me. But you know that saying.... "Misery loves company".

Their lives may not be great and it makes them feel better to try and knock someone for anything.

Some people are just anal like that. I actually find your posts easier to read so it doesn't bother me one bit.

I have more important things in life to complain about than someone's font.

With that being said...some people would argue the color blue just to argue. I do not have any idea why. What a waste of time!

P.S. I could read your post fine and The bold works for me too! Sorry...had to add the smiley's to try to tick someone off! HaHa!

If it were possible, I would type all my posts in Cyrillic symbols.

I have less than perfect eyesight. Yes, your post is harder to read for me. Just because it looks better, or is easier to read for you, doesn't mean it is for everyone. Bold fonts seem crowded and there is less white space in and around them. This makes it difficult to for me to read.

For you it's unwarranted complaining. For me it's eyestrain. I skip most of your posts. I'll not ruin my eyesight just to read what you have to say. It's not that important to me.

I have no idea why people are so nit-picky & dictatorial.
I like bold.
I posted in bold on this one forum; the mods PM'ed me and fussed, they said it gave the impression of anger......??

Not everyone is. Read my previous post.

And thank you for not posting in bold. My eyes appreciate it.

Another example of how many people on this forum can't just give their opinion without becoming rude or tacky. The words in black explain your feelings quite adequately. Why be rude?
