I find it awfully discouraging that the articles I posted that were hosted by stevequayle.com, which originated from viable news and various other sources, were pulled and that the only reason given for their exclusion was that, and I quote, "I don't think we want stevequayle.com here".

[PRND21]

My apologies then. That's a pet peeve of mine, sorry for the reaction.

No problem. As my family knows, my comment is particularly funny because I really have nothing material that I want.

"For instance, I believe the Slimes owns the Chicago Trib."

Ahhh... I wondered why some Trib articles were excerpted. It would be great to find the complete list of prohibited full-text sources.

LOL! Is that the guy who was always on Art Bell? What was his name... oh.. how quickly we forget. :)

(ps. sorry, all, for the double post. Have to remember not to click again when I get the "website not responding" page)

"Candor should be your constant companion if you wish to be a Freeper."


I agree... that's one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen.

And it works in other areas of life as well. :)

lol...

That's Richard Hoagland (shown here with David Flynn, author of Cydonia) Aaargh! too much information...

Pardon me for not knowing the societal structure of FR.COm

This handy visual aid should help.

You know, you can set your browser so that fonts are bigger for you there and you can see it at your convenience without subjecting the rest of us to it.

I created this response on Wordpad... using 20 Bold... SO I CAN SEE WHAT I'M DOING !!! Then I copied it and am now transferring it here, presuming it will now appear in a size that will please your ridiculously critical demands... without subjecting you to the outrageous pain and agony you pretend you must endure if you even happen to see my normal posts !!!

I can only work on my PC by selecting View - Text Size - Largest. At that size I am just barely able to read what's on the screen if I pull my face up close to the monitor.

However, when I post my own messages I need to push back away from the screen so I can use the keyboard. Then the entire screen become blurred... unless I use a larger font. Posting my own text is a real pain in the arse because of the back and forth positioning that is mandatory to read and then type, read and type, etc.

I'm stuck in a huge clutzy wheelchair due to a big bunch of physical limitations. My back is broken, both legs are paralyzed and my left arm is partially paralyzed, plus my near blindness... hence to some I would be considered "worthless"... kinda sorta like Terri Schiavo.

But I support myself and my medical needs by successfully playing the stock market... an enterprize which really pisses off those who would like to brand me as being a "useless eater"!!! Here's hoping your delicate eyeballs have not been assulted !!!

I was informed above by The Right Guy that it's the other way around. "The Tribune Companies" owns the Chicago Tribune and the LA Slimes, plus a lot of other publications.

Well, what's the difference. Pretty soon all media will be owned by one company......Krispy Kreme, Inc.

In the Internet, everyone's equal: black or white, male or female, young or old, healthy or paralyzed, etc.

Unless you volunteer your situation, you will never be treated as less than human.

We are interested in your thoughts and opinions, not your physical abilities.

There are other ways for you to read large fonts without messing up the normal posting font.

I have a friend who uses a large flat-screen monitor with a software that turns everything big.

I'm sure that if you do some research, you will find a product that will meet your needs. The local associations of blind people (many of them are not completely blind, just legally blind) can help you if you don't like to do your own research.

I wish you the best.

Don't mess with our lead moderators, they'll bite your head off.

 

[FourtySeven]

Well, for the record, I don't think your font is THAT big......you want big..........THIS IS BIG! HEHE

And for Freedom is Contagious: WELCOME to FR! hehe Best to get a " I've been flamed thread" out of the way right away anyway; I should've done that myself. ;)

[Publius6961]

In the name of conservatism and what is right, reinstate my post immediately.

Ever heard the phrase unclear on the concept?

I hate it when that happens. One moron makes life tough for the rest of us.
Or is that senility talking?

[GeekDejure]

Using larger fonts isn't going to really help there. You know what you wrote, and what everyone else writes will be in smaller fonts.

Regarding your comment: "When I post my opinions in the font that best suits my severe vision problems -- Using larger fonts isn't going to really help there. You know what you wrote, and what everyone else writes will be in smaller fonts." -- When I type a response, then press Preview... it's STILL NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO READ WHEN MY WHEELCHAIR IS IN MY TYPING POSITION !!!


BTW... You still have NOT answered my prior question -- What constitutes "huge"??? That is to say, what is the maximum size font that I can use without being scolded for use thereof ???
