Lord Strider Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 This is a memo to all of you people out there that think changing you post format is the new hip thing to do. It is not ok. It makes me want to abuse my children when I come across one of your posts. Please have respect for other people on these forums and not attempt to be unique, if have that much of an identity crisis go get a tattoo or something. When I have to highlight your post to read it there is a problem. Thank you and have a good day. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratonbox Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 The first person to use colored text was interesting, because his posts at least had content. But now... I don't even go through the trouble of selecting yellow or other low visibility texts just to see some contrast so i can read them. So, I agree with the point you made in this post, but just like Karolina said, the post is distasteful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk11 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) They're his children, he can hit them with- On second thought, I'm not going there. Then again, debatably "distasteful" jokes don't rob this topic of its message. Edit: I added quotation marks because I felt my side of the issue was too subtle. Now that it's a blunt sentence, I'll drive it home by saying you all are being overdramatic. Edited August 19, 2010 by hawk_11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karolina Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Not liking jokes about child abuse. Yes. I'm [i]absolutely[/i] too sensitive because, ya' know, it would be [i]absolutely[/i] acceptable to use that joke with your colleagues, or your family. Ironic that a post correcting a very minor annoyance contains such a glaringly unacceptable comment. Anyway, this is diverging from the point so I shall not say any more.

hawk11 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Glaringly unacceptable from your perspective, maybe. I hear these kinds of jokes among peers and colleagues daily. You may now proceed to write the company I spend my time with as "ill-refute" or some other classy sounding insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
