Hey all,
On a lot of message boards, the norms are to use a color or style of text to denote sarcasm. It helps to clear up a lot of misunderstandings, and can make for some fun, too. I'm sure those of you who visit more established boards know what I'm talking about.
For instance, at flyingsock.com, they say things like I really like Bruce Pearl.
Do we want to do anything like that here? Any other suggestions for board norms and what not?

When used properly, sarcasm shouldn't need a font or color.

And when there's two sets of fans who frequent this board and disagree on basically everything, sometimes it does.

Some of us just need a break when silly things like this are going on.

I say feel free to use whatever colors you guys want but I'm going to stick to my traditional white text....I think people know when I'm serious or joking around or whatever....
plus, I have a hard time reading some of these colors....for instance, the one posted by Hack is enough to make me lose my lunch.....

Maybe we should get some talking hand puppets to do the talking for us, instead of reading text. How about that? ha |
