Tigerman posting in red all the time

[Mucha Man]

It's bad manners and discourages debate. Here's an example if anyone doesn't know what I am talking about.

Just because Tigerman is a mod, and mod of IP, this shouldn't be tolerated.

One always has the option of NOT reading his posts.

Of course that would be denying oneself of his eloquence and wit.

No, we do not have that option. He's a mod. We can't ignore his posts.

Course you can. You have a scroll button. Personally I think he should be using tie-dye.

It's a simple matter of online courtesy not to post excessively in caps or bright colors.

Before, you said it discourages debate.

How so?

You're a grown man. It shouldn't bother you or impede your attempts at discourse.

I repeat, it's a simple matter of courtesy and like many discourtesies is not conducive to civil and fruitful discussion. We all know that. The fact that some of you posting here like Tigerman is not the relevant issue.

It has nothing to do with whether or not I like Tigerman.

Does BOLD bother you as well?

I see it as highlighting something he thinks is important.

Now this



is certainly not conducive to civil debate. Yet it has been used numerous times by other mods in IP without so much as a peep from you. I guess maybe you agreed with them or liked them?

Have you been speaking with someone?

Why is it bad manners and how exactly does it discourage debate?

In my opinion, accusing an opponent of intellectual dishonesty or of being disingenuous is far more ill-mannered.

For the record, I have used bold colors and different size font for a long time, pre-dating my times as a Moderator.

This site provides these functions and I have always assumed we are all free to make use of the same.
