To hate being *bolded* in a thread

It looks like someone has a Pince nez on and is scrutinizing.

I also suggest fewer threads would go tits up if people had to read them properly LOOKING for their name.

aw you not like it Bonny?

i'd have thought the creepy wee brackets were more pince nezzie than bolding

Hassled · 02/09/2012 16:41

I have a little frisson of excitement whenever I see Hassled. It makes me feel special.

Bless

FalseStartered · 02/09/2012 16:42

hey hassled

you like that, do ya, huh? Wink

Birdsgottafly · 02/09/2012 16:43

I agree with False, would rather use bold than other punctuation symbols.

Tee2072 · 02/09/2012 16:44

Sorry, bonny does having Bonny bold bother you Bonny?

I'm evil. It's true.

Hassled · 02/09/2012 16:45

I'm all a flutter, False :o

SwedishEdith · 02/09/2012 16:45

Ha ha Grin I love people can be so touchy about anything

Pagwatch · 02/09/2012 16:46

If someone holds me I thinking am in trouble. It feels like when my mum used to full name me.

BonnyDay · 02/09/2012 16:46

Yup. It's rude.

[sigh] not holds - bolds.

I rarely get held on here.

Proudnscary · 02/09/2012 16:46

Holds you, Pag?

FalseStartered · 02/09/2012 16:47

nah, flashing your arse out of a bus window is rude

bolding is just another way of nudging

I thought it was just the done thing if you are responding or directing your post at someone in particlar.
I had no idea it was rude.

BonnyDay · 02/09/2012 16:51

Flashing an arse counts as foreplay here ;)

OP posts:
FalseStartered · 02/09/2012 16:52

so if i posted 'oi Bonny' then beamed a midnight smile, you'd be confused, right?

GobblersKnob · 02/09/2012 16:52

I love a bit of bolding me.

And a bit of Balding too, she is fab*

Italics are fab too.

OnlyNiceSwearing · 02/09/2012 16:52

sorry

GobblersKnob · 02/09/2012 16:53

Pissed up my bolding arsewank.

InkyBinky · 02/09/2012 16:53

I bold names when I quote people or respond directly to them. It makes the post clear and easy to read.

note no bonding in this post

InkyBinky · 02/09/2012 16:53

Bolding not bonding
