    It doesn't matter to me what font he uses. 'This message is hidden because Grokmaster is on your ignore list' looks the same regardless

    I never understood people who purposely enlarge their texts. Hard to read and I ignore them all.

    It's usually an attention whore thing, like with Jack. The "screaming" in huge colored fonts and all caps is a cry to "look at me... look at MEEEEE."

    In Grok's case though I think he has vision issues. I just put him on ignore because those huge fonts bother my own "interesting" vision, plus he has nothing of interest to add.

    My principle is, say what you want and articulate it clearly. Let others decide whether it is important or not. For example, "Must Read!" assures me there is nothing important there.

    Windows has the option to enlarge the words for the visually impaired. Don't know why he doesn't use it.

    There are only two reasons: Ignorance/Stupidity or Mental Defect.

    Maybe both.
