    I just tested your theory. I use Firefox Modzilla and I clicked on the reply button and typed a few letters. Prior to submitting I went up to View (on my brrowser) and Text Size and clicked increase numerous times. I was able to make the letters increase to over 1" in height each. It is not an issue for me, but to say no solution exists when one does is inaccurate. Computers have vastly improved the lives of the disabled, you just have to harness their ability. Perhaps Bruce never explored the Firefox browser and did not realize this solution was available to him?

    Carbon, thanks for the explanation.

    Back to the point of the topic, there's no way Fchat will become a subscription-only basis. Like any pusher, Rob has to give the first taste away free to sucker in the users :D

    Besides, some of the worst trolls/attackers/idiots -- on both sides -- are/were subscribed

    See right here is a good reason some people are labeled as trolls. This nutso thinks after being here a month he can go and start making recommendations that he has no right to. A good rule of thumb for these FNG's is to get your feet wet before you start go blowing your mouth off at respected members of the board.

    Yes, he knows that... You can effect the same change by holding down your Ctrl key and scrolling with your mouse, up or down... But if you make the text too big, web pages become very distorted and Bruce works for a living; he can't spend all day horizontally scrolling on someone's site or through his own stuff, just to get stuff done...

    You're really pissing in the wind here... It really is in your best interest to drop the whole caps thing...

    RIVEE, can you send him a message that I would like to talk to him, by phone or email or whatever means.

    Our last correspondence was oneway (from him) and decidedly negative (relating the hacking).

    If he doesn't want to talk to me can you just forward him the PM I sent you?

    I agree, I have no problem with Full Discourse. I say make it only visible to subcribed members though to keep some privacy.

    If I am reinstated I am really going to go ape now on any trolls on the site. ZERO tolerance.

    I don't think we can throw money at this problem and have it go away........

    I think:

    1. People need to write as if they are actually with the person they are witting to. They need to do so with courtesy and respect. It is a concept that has gone out the window. It is only with friends that the language and slang becomes comfortable and acceptable.

    2. I think the mods ( The mods here do a very good job) need to ban / delete harassing people quick and show little toleration for it. It is the toleration that makes these people think it's acceptable.

    3. You should not be allowed to post personal info about someone you have an issue with..... Pictures included.... It's just childish.

    ferrarigtofan: Is a troll? I have no idea................ But instead of coming down on him, why don't you just explain the situation like NNO did? Not everything has to be an argument.

    I do...........

    There are too many problems with disclosing info on the net. We already disclose a large amount of info.

    So, paying $15 get you the information of Ferrari owners worldwide? That's pretty cheap & not smart IMO......

    Zero Tolerance is the key.

    At one point I suggested an age range in your "info header" (I don't know the name of it). In light of this conversation, I still think it might be a good idea. Age ranges are helpful to understand how people write and look at the world. I don't know if I could dust off and find that thread...............

    Perhaps full discourse available to the mods and a signed document stating no intent for selling etc?

    I'm sorry but your post confuses me. Bruce repeatedly "hints" that I am the Nick person he hates, which I am not. I explain a browser issue that may help him, and that is a recommendation I have no right to make? You want civility, but you reduce your comments to slander and name calling to achieve this end?

    I'd like you to point out one instance of where I published anyone's address, wife's name, picture, etc. You won't find any such items, because I didn't do anything like that. You on the other hand have published pictures of my car, with the license plate showing.

    Bottom line: you have a direct problem with the truth. Your buddy, who's left had the same problem.

    there should just be a spot where if one is accusing another of something, they post it, the defendant responds to it, then a jury selects to smooth things out, or boot people.

    if you feel like you need to get aggressive and start thrashing people, posting personal info, etc, just get laid or go out in your car, speed a little to burn off steam, then come back and decide if it is the right thing to do. seriously people this is the internet, it is way too easy to f^ck someone over and not feel reprocussions.

    so someone needs to start contacting the FBI in cybercrimes, or filing restraining orders.

    Honestly, I would leave............

    Unless Ferrari itself wants just an owners site, I'm not disclosing full info. You realize some of the mods here are not of age to drink? Don't get me wrong, the mods here are great, but there are even bad apples in the NSA. So, do you see where I'm going with this?

    It's already easy enough to find info on people as has been shown here by some members.

    I've never seen Art post any personal info on anyone. If you have proof of this, then show a link. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe and I don't think you should accuse him.
