It makes you look like a gradeschooler who can't express his ideas to save his life.
ALSO, ALL CAPS: USE THEM IF AND ONLY IF YOU DELIGHT IN BEING PERCEIVED AS A SCREAMING INFANT.
Titles are an exception, but size 4 and bolding is plenty. - Giver of Friendly Advice

What is the default font and can we select one and save it. Looks like mine is 2 pt. Testing 3 pt...might be easier to read.

IF YOU WRITE IN ALL CAPS IT MEANS YOU ARE CORRECT AND FACTUAL AND CAN NOT BE DISPUTED.

As long as there are people who think, "It's OK. Nobody will judge me. I need it to get my all-important point across. Anything less conspicuous and people might not take me seriously."... ...there shall be friendly advice.

I range between 2pt to 4pt, every day to make my message look better. I only use colored font for kitty of the day size 4 pt and In One Word size 3 pt. That's it.

Large fonts are just... no. Virgil's Third Law of Internetdom states, in part, that that trashiness of a website is proportional to the fifth power of the fraction of content that is either allcapsed, printed in 24+ pt font, marqueed, flashing, purple, green, followed by two or more exclamation points, surrounded by ASCII character decals, or any combination thereof.

Sometimes a LARGE FONT AND BOLDING AND CAPS is necessary though, when you have repeated the same simple concept and yet someone refuses to just simply READ what you WROTE.

Have you noticed the wily SNOW LEOPARD does not use large point font as he is capable of quite effectively sneaking up on you using only the smaller font........(because, of course the massive number of aging babyboomers are totally distracted in the struggle to decipher that damned small print!!!)

If memory serves me Virgil Showlion wrote messages in invisible "ink" and we had to run mouse over post to see what was said. But now we all know how bad my memory is so take this with a itty bitty grain of salt!!
Large font, small font, colored font or no font - take your pick.

Sometimes pOsTers mistake rejection of their argUMents for refusal to read those arguments, aND they proceed to mAke the situation WOrse by stating tHe exact samE things using biggER, bolder, uglier text.

Ugly text is sooooooo 2011, like geez shit.
You have no discussion if you want to use large colored gaudy font. If that is what you need to use to argue your point, um you lost the argument already. just saying.

And sometimes there is no mistake, and it's obvious that there's no mistake, because the person that misread the original post mischaracterizes it... kind of like you did here. For example: If a post says "the painting was a mixture of reds & blues" then someone comes back with "so it was purple"... that's mischaracterizing what was said due to a flawed interpretation.
