Bold Face & Colored Text

I read in a tread, someone construed using bold & colored text as being powerful. I always use bold & colored text in all my posts and personal emails because I feel it is easier to read and more creative than the washed out plain black text. I was wondering, is the use of bold and colored text considered offensive to this forums members? Should it only be used in anger or to make a point or is it OK whenever. Danny :)

Personally, I don't care what color you print your posts in. Frankly, I think color is KEWEL! (I'd probably make my posts always in color if I were smart enough to do it without having to choose the color every time!) :lol: Just don't print in caps.........as this is always considered yelling, and quite rude. :thumbdown:

Don't know the answer, but it isn't offensive to me. :thumbsup:
It is easier to read as well.

I think it's ok as long as it's not gray.

It's the way I have always posted and for me it's easier to see, not trying to be powerful or offend anyone. If I am out to make a point, I will sometimes use caps. I also use more direct wording so the point doesn't get missed. And like I have said, if someone gets offended by my posting, they can just bypass it when they see it. Also a quick way to tell if I'm upset and trying to make a point, I will not end my posting with "Have a good day". It'll be something else or nothing at all.

Have a good day.

I think it's great that some of us use colour, I'm just too lazy to change the font and style every time I post.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

PS : Gage I had'nt noticed that you used more direct wording :lol:

...the only thing considered rude is posting in all caps...onna board, that is considered shouting...colors and bold face are there to be used and I am sure that some of ya old farts out there probably need the bold face to see clearly... :lol: ;)

I've got no problem with bold faced and color, but I HATE all caps, and people that use all lower case and no punctuation.
