[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]She had to completely and REPEATEDLY misrepresent what I said to make nothing but straw-men arguments. That is not the strategy of someone WINNING an argument...rather it is the recourse of someone who is trying to dig themselves out of hole.
The font is a way of giving some personality to my posts and breaking away from the boring default font. If it makes you feel better, you can think of it as a form of special snowflake syndrome on my part.[/font]
[font face=papyrus size=5 color=purple] I used to use papyrus but too many people said it was too hard to read so I moved to Georgia. I like how it has a more organic handwritten look to it...but only a few peeps liked it.[/font].
If it bothers you and I can add your name to the list of people to use the default font. That is the deal I have with your wife Cbayer. [font size=4]I can also increase the size if your [font size=5]eyes are bad.[/font][/font]
[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Or is it that it does not stand out enough for your tastes?[/font] [font style="font-family:'comic sans MS','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=5 color=coral]Would you like something like comic sans in coral instead?

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Now, how about you? Did you really give [font color=red]$0.02[/font] about respect?
Do you really think referring to people who have issues with religion terms for religious fanatics is respectful? Do you think it is okay to call a small group of African Americans (who you disagree with or were rude to you) the N word so long as you don't do it to all African Americans?
Do you really not see the issue?[/font]

I don't think so. That is why I don't use terms you don't like to refer to you or others
