(satire) I want to be heard

When one changes their font to #4 or whatever it is.  Didn't that person write the text?  Wouldn't that person actually want everyone else to use the size 4, because they know what they wrote -- unless they also can't remember what they wrote -- or they admire their own text (which is the whole premise of the initial posting)?

Now the paradox here is highlighted. Anyone claiming this is a font nazi issue simply wants to self promote, which doesn't really make sense on a text forum...

This issue is turning me off when I see text of all weird colors and all different sizes.  The large text, no matter what it is as long as it's larger than nominal, is to bring focus to that text.  But posts are post, everyone should have equal say in each topic - and changing font sizes means you have to scroll longer to get to the next person's message, lessening the apparent value of people who write in the default size text since it is smaller.

There is nothing about minimization about this here. It's to reduce abuse of fonts.

Ah an ad hominem attack. And local rescaling the browser is not feasible because then people who did not artificially increase font sizes would also get shrunk, making them illegible.

Actually look more carefully, the people with default increased size text tend to end up extending past their avatar, unless they're making the usual GBF response: Pick one:

Ok

Yes

No

Boycott!

It indeed is: because it has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

I don't understand that, because, using Firefox, as the browser is resized upwards, the text wraps around and the text is visible in its entirety without any sliding as can be seen here:

But maybe you aren't using a PC. What are you using?

Think about it again. You were implying that I should be discredited by pointing out the fact I don't have an account... This by definition is an attack on the person, not the idea. Would it be any different if I had a regular account? I think not. You would still have the exact same sentiment, but instead you decide to point out the irrelevant fact.

By the way, this is going off the subject for that matter, the change of size of occasional words for emphasis of a perhaps key point was never a big deal, but making large portions of the text - say, multiple lines or the whole post - this was the main concern, showing self importance - instead of key word highlighting like you've used, which is an acceptable use for colors and/or size.

I think it is funny a guest is posting about guidelines.

JUST MY oPinioN.

I like different fonts for emphasizing point, or making it fun. And, most people won't even see this topic, unless someone points it out.

I agree with Zim, a post that is not several paragraphs with larger font, does not go past the avatar.
