Why is it that the theme of all these deep religious philosophical posts are emphasized and italicized with alternating red marker scribes. It seems that the user or reader is being lured into reading this nonsense through color coded prompts. Highlighting the perceived important over the less important gives the writer the advantage to keep the reader captivated to think they are absorbing something important when it is only really meant to distract you and keep you reading and focused on the jargon disseminated to you.....common theme here on glp...

First of all, as English is not my mother language, I try to structure my ramblings as clear as possible to pay tribute to the hurried reader.
I, myself, scroll threads and posts as fast as possible to get some (rare) meat on the bones. I consider my time precious (it takes me hours, sometimes, to write directly in English a long, documented and meaningful text). That's why I consider yours the same way. That's why 115 different readers read each post of mine (when the average of the other threads is rather around 10, sometimes, 20, rarely 30 or more).
It seems that these people are now accustomed to my style.
Posts are not normal texts like in books (I have written several books). 90% of posts are useless, among thousands I could read (I read about a hundred a day). They are just uninteresting
'opinions' without any argument, knowledge or logic, backed by quotes and references. And you know what one says about opinions, right? Especially when they change with time...
When there is some meat, I avoid reading walls of text.
So, it remains structured texts with key points in bold, and even in different colors, especially when there is some complexity, like my post above. One can therefore scroll my posts in few seconds to see what it is about with immediate answers and solutions. Then people can read the developments if interested.
When I use italics it's for the quotes, or, rarely, to imply a wink or a licence. They allow people to immediately grasp the context.
I understand that the
'takers' don't necessarily see the efforts provided by the
'givers' for their posts' substance and form. But it doesn't matter, for only the latter are my target for them to better see beyond the brainwashing.
PS: I read judgments in your message, but no arguments. Did I miss something?
