Shouting in text is done with capitalization, bold text as Loulou says is to create emphasis.

That's right bounty. I was creating emphasis as I always do.

I see. I hadn't realised. I am sorry.

To me it just looked extremely 'in my face and loud', but then not being the kind of person who needs to emphasise her presence to get noticed, I suppose I was bound to find it unpleasant.

I will remember next time. Thankyou.

One should always emphasise their presence.

Never fear lou, I think the pink text and stars does that already.

My presence requires no emphasis.

loulou · « **Reply #37 on:** December 05, 2006, 06:07:41 pm »

why is that then?

If you don't emphasise your presence people won't know you're there.

There are people in the world who have what is known as Presence.

If you are one of these people and you enter a room, there is no-one who will not feel it on a subconscious level. Like a ripple that goes around the room announcing your approach to all.

For such people emphasis is like guilding the Lily. Totally unnecessary.

I think it's a bit different on the Internet

Only if you allow it to be.

With an attitude like that I am sure people notice you, but not necessarily for the reasons you think. That is quite possibly the most pretentious thing I have ever read - and given the drivel one of our former members used to spout along the same lines, that's saying a lot.

And if you 'need no emphasis', why do you insist on writing your username at the end of your posts when it's already there automatically?
