Internet forums have given many of Christ's obscure followers a convenient venue for sharing their time-won knowledge and experience with a worldwide audience. For the world's sake, I highly recommend making an effort to compose legible posts; neatly arranged, sensible, coherent, and tidy.
Excessive bolding and italics, lack of adequate paragraphing, twitter spelling, unnecessary emogies, horrible grammar, confusing mixtures of fonts and colors, and/or shouting with caps and oversize letters, makes for tiresome clutter and annoying graffiti that leave a bad impression.
Some people's posts resemble the obnoxious placards of worked-up protesters and political activists; yelling, shrieking, and sometimes even spraying spittle. They are beyond reason and objectivity in their desperation to be taken seriously. Apparently they assume that if only they shout loud enough, and make themselves annoying enough, maybe they'll get their point across and somebody will finally listen.
I rather suspect that some people regard forums as a canvas for painting their comments instead of composing them. Well; that might be okay for outsiders, they can be as messy as they want because it doesn't matter. But for those of us who honestly believe ourselves to be representing God's son; it's unacceptable.
● Phil 1:27 . . Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
