Why do people feel they have to yell their posts to get their point accross? We all have opinions and we should be accepting of everyone's ideas, thoughts, point of views, etc..

Why do people feel they have to be nasty to one another if one doesn't agree with them? People can always disagree and debate on any topic but try to be civil.

Re: Bold Lettering Posts

[ Edited ]

Power, unfortunately it gives individuals a sense of having it. They are anonymous and without that fact they would not have/feel any power.

 

My oops.

I should have referenced my remark to the second part of the post, about being nasty.

I was in error of not making this clear.

Some need/prefer bold and larger print. I apologize to those that do because my comment was not in reference to you.

For one thing, many people who post here have trouble seeing "normal" fonts so bold is helpful.

 

And it's helpful for me to see it more clearly on my laptop as well.

 

I do hope that this bold response did not offend you Smiley Happy

I think many have explained here that they use the bold print because of vision issues. I prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before placing judgment.

 

As far as differing points of views and how responses are perceived......I think the anonymity of the internet is why civility isn't always present. However, often times perception is everything.

@Trinity11 I never looked at it from that perspective. If that is the case some of the time, I can easily understand that! Thanks.

Hi @Noel7. Some serious health issues I am dealing with and haven't been able to post as much. Yesterday was wonderful...lots of little ones at our door. My husband stayed home to give out the candy.

 

Hope you are recovering and feeling better.Heart
