To hate being *bolded* in a thread

[BonnyDay]

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.

No one has said that YABU though.

You so are though, totes.

It's rude? To get someone attention? Not really. It's more like tapping you on the shoulder to make sure you hear me!

I have never considered it to be rude!

Just a way of alerting a poster to the fact that you're responding to them, surely?

Mind you, I don't get involved in Bun Fracas. I prefer to roll up after it's all over - when all the body parts have been bagged and labelled - to nose through the detritus for any spare change.

It's lazy. Read the thread you fuckerz. ;)

Out of respect to you Bonny I won't bold your name

Hope this is better Bonny

Are italics acceptable?

YABU, BonnyDay.

I actually thought it was polite when you are answering someone or acknowledging when they have said something to you. That and the fact that I am rubbish at using any other special mumsnetting typing thingies. Each to their own though!

OI BONNYDAY YOU IGNORANT FUCKER.

Now that would be a rude way of getting your attention.

SHOUTING IN BOLD, height of rudeness.

Or is CAPITALS the way to go. This is too confusing for me.

I don't need bolding.

I can read.

I DON'T THINK BOLDING IS RUDE AT ALL BUT I DO FIND SHOUTING ALL THE TIME IN EVERY POST SOMEWHAT ANNOYING

Inky italics are vair swish

Even ones where you are the OP? When someone is responding directly to you?

YES, SHOUTING IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING I NEVER DO IT!

BONNY I PROMISE TO NEVER BOLD YOUR NAME AGAIN.

BTW, ARE YOU NEW? I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOUR NAME AND DON'T THINK I EVER HAVE BOLDED YOU BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SPOKEN TO YOU.

, it's not lazy, it involves using extra keys and everything

bolding is the only way to go...I am a lazy fucker and I don't care

ack, why not just say what you mean Bonny

that you're bored like the rest of us and thought this was a new thread topic

you're right btw, it is

Are you swearing nicely at us Bonny?

I just joined today. I have a little boy called joshy abd my own cupcake business. ;)

arf @ bonny

Actually it is the opposite of lazy on an iPad...I need to press two extra keys on my keyboard just to access it, then back to qwerty to write what I want bolder then the other two keys again to access the keyboard the asterisk is on...
You know what is unreasonable.??? People who call an asterisk and asterix

Oh tasty! >
