I thought one could express himself with some sort of freedom here, but it seems there are people that get offended way to easily.
I´m starting to see Lostchords point of view of this site more and more.
This is clearly a thread made against me, you might as well have written "Should el böthy keep on writing in bold letters?". If now, I cant write in bold letters, whats next? Someone will come and say my avatar is offensive cause he doesnt like the Muppets?

I will stop using this bold letters, not because some dont like it, but because it can bring trouble in the future for newer members and I dont want to be held responsable for it.

It´s a shame, I thought the forum was way more open minded that what it really is. I dont use bold letters so my words get more attention or because I think I have the holy truth, nor cause Im shouting. I am very disapointed with some of you, and others I just cant care anymore

Im a Libertarian more or less, so you can pretty much guess my opinion on the matter.


One should be able to do w/e the hell he pleases, so long as he is not hurting anyone else. Bold posts are entirely different from personal attacks, imo.
back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums

*sigh* ... I guess that if you cannot live without your individual font style, then keep using it. This was not an attack against you ... it seems like pretty much everybody around here seems to perceive any form of criticism as a personal attack.Ouch

Seriously, I'm not too fond of unusual writings (colourful and italicised espesially), but I really miss the previous El Boethy's manner of typing (bold with increased size, if I'm not mistaken). Those posts were so easy to be read... Actually, they were the only ones I read effortlessly.

Just a small question here, and it will probably expose my utter naivety:

Does it really matter that much to people?
