Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I use to be a geezer. But now I am an elder.  So I have street cred.  And as an old F I need to call out my fellow dumb asses who post up with huge fonts.   My old people.  Please stop.  You are being stupid.

My 4.00 readers aren't strong enough...my kidney's have been red-lining for 2 years...at 78, I'm not going to check my damned glucose and have to give up my Boston Cream donuts or my marshmallow peeps.

The only posts that I can see without a problem are my good FRiend @Bigun 's.  HE gave me the idea to use 12 point and figured it wasn't too much of an imposition on anyone's sensibilities.

At least I don't use 18pt bold like somebody else in the joint.

But I hereby promise to go back to standard font size

....tomorrow.

12pt IS my standard text size. Nothing I type is ever any smaller. If that's a problem, I can go to 14. @DCPatriot

Well, at least with the larger fonts I can sit back and read instead of feeling like a bug reading a billboard with this monitor.

I have the whole screen, why use 8 point type?

One of the nice things about having the computers of today is setting type, fonts, size , boldness, etc as one wishes.  I often use larger print for emphasis.  In most things published today, they do the same when wanting to draw attention to something.

If you do not like it, then sorry you have a problem.  No one is holding a gun to your head to read any post that contains such.  WINGNUT!

I doubt anyone has a problem with EMPHASIS words or phrases... But whole paragraphs and replies in the large font is excessive. Also I have a size adjustment (+ & -) for page size that acts as a tool for websites with the smallest print... But.... font this big (or larger) means you can't read what others are writing anyways. Does it help you read what you type as you type? How do you actually emphasis something that is already humongous.


As I have aged, I have gone up screen sizes on my display (desktop)... lots of things one can do to adjust to poorer sight... without making excuses for ruining other's experiences.

I pretty much always keep my display zoomed in at about 120% or so. I started doing it when I was sharing documents during online meetings at work because Teams tends to make them look smaller to the viewers, but then I just got used to it. 

Having said that, I also recently bought a large print Bible.   :laugh:   Why do churches insist on having low lighting during service now, anyway?

Get on the front page of any site and Ctrl+ ... The entire site will use the font size from then on... And will remember next time, so long as your cookies remain.

I keep my 15" laptop pretty much normal - If I have to, I will put on cheaters. But the browsers are a different story. I jack up the font site by site so I can comfortably read them without cheaters.

Ctrl+ to make font bigger.
Ctrl- to make font smaller.
Ctrl0 to reset font to normal.
