No, most writers can manage to get their point across clearly without the need
for emphasis, because they know that the written word doesn't carry any.

You responded to my post, pretty much as I predicted you would.

You're right. All those things I said I had never done against you, though,
carry along for everyone else on Lugnet.

Why is it my job to judge where the line is? If I'm not being personally
insulting, I'm not being personally insulting. If the discussion veers towards
someone's public behaviour, and I say something that the person finds to be
hurtful, one should wonder why my opinion means that much to them.

Please. I'm not beating my chest and saying I'm a flame king, I'm just saying
that the difference in style and tone would probably be pretty obvious.
