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.

Got it. So if someone writes sumthin' like "I would like to think that the only way that an official calls a foul in that situation is if it is an obvious foul that everyone in the gymnasium could see." in regular, non-blue color and font, they meant it as a legitimate statement.

And that's exactly the way I interpreted it---> as a statement.

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
