I think some folks use the colors because they either can't or don't know how to use the quote function. some posts are simply confusing because of the lack of using the quote system. and then there is the all caps person who is just clueless... Is it a bad thing.... sometimes..... but I don't think one could/ should call it "evil". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use paragraphs to spread things out and make it easier on the eye and we use punctuation marks to break up what we are saying. Font colours can be used to highlight key points. Just remember that there is an online etiquette though. For example, things written entirely in capitals look AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg. Though I try to use a font other than caps I do not have access to what is seen on the top of a post on the computer so if I am not using a computer I may use caps instead . That does not mean I am shouting. If you understand what I am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
