How to Restore Confidence in FFXIV

What's the deal with all the constant bolding and italicization in certain posts around here? I get that addressing tone can be difficult on a forum, but the formatting some of you guys are utilizing comes off more like someone's being yelled at. I have doubts as to how effective that is in presenting a cohesive and believable argument that will be taken seriously. Tone goes a long way in determining whether someone will even continue to give you the time of day.

Go study on how to win an argument on the internet???

Didn't you claim to be of a more venerable age range? Why then, do you conduct yourself as a teenager or young adult would on the internets? I've seriously typically seen this kind of behavior from the younger demographics. It's rather strange to see, but then maybe I was romanticizing what I wasn't familiar with.

Well... because he probably is. Some people think that being old gives them clout in arguments. It's the whole: "I'm older and wiser than you so you should listen to me" mentality that some people seem to have. If anybody uses their "old" age as a talking point in an online argument I'm immediately skeptical of it because chances are it's not true, and given this guy's track record of being intellectually dishonest, I'd say that's exactly the case.
