Having a go at those like Terence who visit here to help potentially discourages their help.

 

Help we much appreciate!

Dissing, belittling, and ridiculing the opinions of others is not helpful.

Just my way of trying to get your attention and to voice the idea that ridiculing and minimizing the thoughts of others is not particularly helpful while it is very off putting.

Guess what! A post typed like that is something I just refuse to read. It deserves all the ridicule it gets.

Huh?

I think Allan is saying that he ignores posts that proclaim (by the use of upper case lettering) the posters demands to not be ignored.

Thank you, Csound.

You read me well.

Think nothing of it

Now that I know you folks feel the use of upper case letters for emphasis (not a demand at all!) is frowned upon, I wonder what is an acceptable way, in your opinions, to emphasize a point in written text?

Just state it clearly.

Anything, that does not make the post stick out and hard to read.

Try italics, for example. Or a different color for selected words.

....I agree - Italics gives emphasis while remaining polite. But color (or colour), which I can't see an option for anyway, can be either too pale or too loud according to the colour chosen.

Bold text might sometimes be appropriate but it all depends and anything can offend if it's written a certain way!  "F*** Off!" he hinted

I must concur with Red Robin. Since I am recovering from surgery to reattached the retina in my eye, color is extremely difficult for me to read. Black on white is the best for me while my eye is recovering.

The color option is in the Advanced Editor, Red Robin.  Click the underlined A.

Along with other formatting options, like size or fonts.

If you edit your post after submitting it, you will automatically be in the Advanced Editor.

I find a mixture of fonts in gigantic sizes equally offending as ALL CAPS, just as hard to read.

But if you really want to shout, try:

Apple, are you listening?

or try the other way

I wish you a speedy recovery, Allan. I hope, all will be well!
