What's the deal with the BOLD questions?

Postby Llewthepoet » Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:50 pm

As you know, I often put questions in BOLD in order signify their importance, causing people to notice them and read them carefully. :shock:

Also, about the post editing, I'm sort of a perfectionist, so if something is not worded correctly, I have to change it. :oops:

Do you hate it or do you love it?

Would making the text really big count?

In my mind, I hear the bold questions as being "spoken" by a completely different voice. Kinda neat. So yeah, put me down in the positive column.

They are quite neat, although it sometimes annoys me when people format their posts with such care. Makes me think that perhaps they're bothering more than I.

Maybe I should start bolding random sentences, just to throw you off.

It makes you unique. It is a you thing.
I like that about you. You get us to think and you seem to CARE about what we think, otherwise, why would you ask? I think it's a good part of you. Yes, a lot of people point it out, but no one here takes anything seriously a lot of the times and it's normally all in good fun. ^^
Don't change a thing! ^^

I like it. It differentiates you from everybody else, which is a good thing. It sorta breaks up the normal posting structure, which I think is cool.

Almost like typing every letter in rainbow colors, but less time consuming. And easier to read. :)
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I have nothing against putting questions in bold. As long as it's not three times as big and in several different colors.

Couldn't care less. No offence, but a question is a question is a question.

I don't care about it one way or the other. What I do mind is having certain words bolded in every single instance. That's right, KJ Fellie.

He said words, not non-standard onomatopoeia.
