And yet more proof of your bullying ...

But if people want even more proof, on the 6th Jan this year on the "we are indeed fortunate" thread, it was you who called me "Stupidcus" yet I've never resorted to calling you names

Maybe it's time people stood up and say "no more" when you belittle them and the forum can get back to a place of lively discussions, humour and fun again instead of the seething cesspit of rage that it often is now.

You're a real asset to this forum, aren't you?

(That was sarcastic, BTW)

Well, if you insist on posting stupid comments.

How's your 'state sponsored genocide' plan going?...

Still trying to destroy my character rather than posting constructive comments ...

Sticks and stones ....

I never said state sponsored genocide, that's your comment and opinion ....

But if you want me to resort to your playground tactics

diable rouge is a BULLY

[KidKruger]

That's really cool, how do you make the letters go bold like that ?

Magic

I could show you but when I type the commands in it makes the text bold so it doesn't help ...

DR, there does seem to be quite prevalent attitude on here along the lines of "well if someone says something 'stupid' they're going to get 'called out' for it" (not your words (that I've seen), to be fair)....but is that really how we collectively want the vibe of this forum to be? SO people are hesitant to express a view? When people feel attacked for saying what they think, their inclination will be to 'dig in/double down'...whereas if they feel there is a decent two way street, then they may concede certain points and end up softening their view anyway.

And who is the arbiter of a 'stupid'? comment anyway? Perhaps trying to understand why someone has said something that you think is 'stupid' might be a more productive use of keystrokes?

That assumes that a poster is inclined to soften their view. I'm not sure that's the case with some posters.

If you look at the 'Deniers' thread I did exactly that and he double downed.

I understood what he said, and indeed kept saying.

Context is everything...

You do it as you would in html.

You will have to Google it as I can't work out a way to do it unless I do a screenshot of what I type.

I tried to do that by putting "close bracket" in the first command and "open bracket" in the second command, instead of the actual (well, the other way round) but that didn't work either!

I think that was where I learned html what seems like zillions of years ago. Over a very intensive weekend.

Then I spent the next weekend learning CSS.

It was very useful at the time 😶

Amazing I remember when all this was brand new. Makes me feel ancient.

A bulletin Board was something we dialed into once :)
