If you want to use font colors in your posts, and then NOT have them taint everyone else's replies, then close your posts with "/font color" in the brackets.

As it is, y'all keep telling the font to just change to a different hexadecimal color code, only it's not working correctly. I've had good luck with the /font color tag, because whatever color you were using, it's not saying to stop using that color and go back to the default. See my tagline and sig for examples.

Mike, that's what I've been doing all along, but people still complain the responses come out in "my" color. I think I've got it right this time, but who knows? In other words, what SHOULD work some way doesn't always actually WORK that way...whether it's an individual's computer, or the internet, or the site, I don't know, but it seems there's no perfect fix for anything....grrrrr

I'll do what I can to eradicate the problem, but I will NOT give up my color...when I check a thread, I go all the way to the bottom, then scroll up to my last post, which means I haven't read anything beyond that since I was last there. Works for me. ;o)

Hello,

This is the second time I've seen you equate 'Bainers' to 'Birthers.' I'm not sure the comparison is apt...

---

"Is!.. Isn't!" Is a perfectly apt comparison. It's not about the substance of the argument, it's about the shrill belief on either side.

Since there's no way to win an argument with a believer, the only logical move is not to play.

---

That's equally appropriate for any of the so-called "Fast & Furious" hullaballou. Believers are unable and/or unwilling to look at facts with any objectivity, so are unable to have a rational conversation about the matter in any fashion.

No, Niki - yours says at the close, "/font" "/font". *NOT* "/font color". The word "color" seems to matter, it would appear.


OH, look at that - it seems to have worked finally! Maybe you just had one "/font" before, so it was closing the Comic Sans typeface instead? (By the way, I nominated Comic Sans as the official "sarcasm" font, because I can never take anything written in that font completely seriously. )

I'm betting that if Gov. Romney releases copies of his returns and they show nothing incorrect, the Bainers will accuse him of having altered them. Since the IRS can't legally confirm or deny their correctness, we'd have the same "Is fake. Isn't fake." nonsense until the election. Oh, boy.

Hello,

This is the second time I've seen you equate 'Bainers' to 'Birthers.' I'm not sure the comparison is apt. With the Birthers, there is no substantive evidence of their concerns. With Bainers, there are at least some official documents that show nominal ownership and control long after both were supposedly surrendered. The defense is that such ownership and control was merely a legal technicality, and not a functioning fact. However, while the birther claims are based on rumor and innuendo, the Bain concerns stem from actual official documents and require a larger context in order to dismiss.

In essence, it is a comparison between something unsubstantiated preposterous, and something which is technically true, but possibly not practically poignant.

Equivocating the two situations creates the erroneous impression that you have a personal bias on the matter, something I'm sure you did not intend.

Dammit, ANT, remove that invisible comment- it doesn't edit out and so it F888s up responses.

I don't care whether it's substantive or not-- what's sauce for the goose is good for the gander. Birthers been beating their moot point for at least 4 years. I plan to beat this one every ruttin' DAY from now 'till eternity, whatever Mitt releases, whether he gets elected or not. Complete with accusations of fraud and forgery. Payback is a ...

Tax cheaters for Romney, 2012.
Day 1 of the Bain-Gate scandal.

Mitt, release the real forms.

Hello,

First, I take the trouble to return font color to white at the end of my signature line, so you must not be quoting me entire if you have a coloration problem.

Second of all, I was going to respond to this:

It's not about the substance of the argument

With the fact that substance is important. Arguments based on substance are the product of people who employ rational thinking, and rational thinkers can be moved by evidence. Arguments based on nothing are the product of partisan true believers who can't be reached.

I think it was a strong argument.

Until you posted what you posted, citing yourself as caring for this based on revenge and not rational thought.

Anthony, I took the liberty of changing the "font color - FFFFFF" tax to "/font color" in this reply, and it changed the text back to white.

What I've been doing when replying to you is just editing out the whole hidden text part, tags and all, because it really does mess things up, and makes my reply to you invisible otherwise.

But I'm sure that was different...

Testing... Okay, it works, I didn't "respond with quote", I just responded, and it took out the color/font. Hopefully that will solve the problem for others. I can be PM'd if anyone still has problems with my posts...replying on the forums I might miss.

So now, back to our regular programming (apologies for threadjack...)

---

Not yer fault, I started the thread jack, in a moment of annoyance, as I've stated. Sorry about that, y'all.
If we got it working, let's get back to topic. BTW, didn't work in the other thread where I replied to Anthony, until I copied a font color = 000000, I think it was , outside of the quoted part, started off my response with it.

Hello NewOld,

Please feel free to test a new reply with quote to see if the problem is resolved.

I added a second, reduntant font white command.

I do not know why it helps but I think it has solved the problem.

OK, let's test this one. Thanx for taking all the trouble, Anthony.
