I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

On web message boards, blue font is typically used for sarcastic statements.

Hence if some one were to say, for example...

It's only right. We officials have no business making a call that we don't know the entire audience, coaches and players will agree with. I can't believe I'm the only one that calls a game using that mantra.

It should be taken tongue-in-cheek.

Another example would be:

I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

I would interpret that to mean you really do know what the blue font means, and asked the question sarcastically.

as opposed to:

I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

One can only assume you don't know what it means and is a legitimate question.

Wow...been on the web since day nearly day 1 and I've never heard of such a standard.

Lots of people just like the color blue.

And it's certainly never been the standard here on this board. I'm with Camron, I've been playing with this internet thing for a long time in different contexts and never heard it.

I sense a running joke coming soon on this board, though.

light blue mildly sarcastic

dark blue severely sarcastic

And if you want to be trendy you use different shades in same sentence

Badnewsref...........

Regarding comment no free throws can be taken with zero time on clock.

Went through posts and it was gone



5.6.2 SITUATION E: A1 has been awarded two free throws after time has
expired in the fourth quarter. Team B leads 62-60 and A1 misses the first free
throw. RULING: The second free throw will not be attempted. (5-6-2 Exception 3)
5.6.2 SITUATION F: Following the end-of-game signal which has Team A leading
62-60, the coach of Team A sprints after the game officials and shouts profanity
at the referee who has just left the playing court outside the end line.
RULING: The referee shall charge the coach with a flagrant technical foul and the
results of the two free throws will determine whether an extra period will be necessary.
The jurisdiction of the officials had not ended as the referee was still within
the visual confines of the playing area. (2-2-4)

Me neither and I participate on a quite a few forums. Of course I also don't inhabit many forums where the majority of the users are younger than I am so perhaps this is a younger generational thing.

Maybe we've been on the internets too long.

P.S. I blame myspace and text messaging.

No chance of teaching an old dog a new trick???

I'd like to think that I adapt to change fairly well, it's just something I haven't heard of before.

I prefer the use of [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] tags and IRC commands myself.
