Salaam o alaikum

I'm leaving this online community and very disappointed. I thought I had found a balanced community. That's life.

But I thought for the administrators who care, you may want to train your moderators in being sensitive to people who are visually impaired and you may want o create some acceptable font so that those of us who have serious vision problems can read and write in your forums with out being admonished for every single post.

oh please, what a bunch of i'm-gonna-make-you-all-feel-guilty bull. you KNOW how to write your posts in the font YOU feel comfortable with and then, BEFORE SENDING IT, make it a smaller font ... out of respect for others who may not want to have huge bold red letters insulting their eyes! when DID YOU announce that you're visually impaired, and how did you read all the other posts in NORMAL font? since you had already "threatened" with your departure on another thread why did you have to make this one in which to, again, announce you're leaving the forum ... to put certain people on a guilt trip, or what? you are so full of yourself, queen bee, and what does that make the rest of us? your subjects?  good luck in finding a BALANCED COMMUNITY anywhere on this earth, especially the kind where everyone agrees and looks up to YOU.

Salam/Peace,

We do have an item on forum guidelines that talking about font, here it is:

8. Use of upper case and bold/large (font) is not permissible for the whole of the message body. However, these may be used to add emphasis to words or phrases contained within your message.

===

I think most of forum members follow this rules (using standard size font). If this is too small for you, you can adjust your screen resolution or like br. AK said you can use "magnifier optiont" and also you can use your browser font size option.

Thanks,

Admin

To Hanan

You are a very rude and insulting person! How dare you slander me when you don't even know me? What type of Muslim are you?

It is harram to lie, and slander people.

For your information, not that owe you or anybody else anything, but since you are slandering me, I'd let you know that in order for me to read other people post I had to highlight their post and than paste and copy of my word pad document and than make it a larger font.

And I used red color to make a point other than that I used black color.

And the times that my font was small is because I changed it back before posting. This is too time consuming for me.

So before you in your arrogant self righteous tone jump down my back, why don't you take a good hard look at your poor adab, and stop slandering people.

You don't even know me, yet you're accusing me of something? How pathetic is your immature behaviour. And who in the heck did I ever tell to look up to me?

For people who claim to be so religious you people lack compassion, and respect.

To The Administrators

Thank you for that advice. I do not have Windows XP but I will look at MY COMPUTER settings tab on my computer and see if I can change the way I can respond.

I still am not planning on continuing to hear, it's not for people like me, but thank you for professional response.

Salaams and Bismillah,

Some of the rules are just silly and don't take into account the visually impaired, I agree.  However, this maybe one of the few things I agree with you on, Sister, but I thought I should weigh in and tell you anyway.

Rules are meant to be helpful.  The point of this rule so people won't feel shouted out.  And using all red has been determined to be a shouting thing by most of the folks here. Hey, you didn't know, right?  We've had discussions about it before.

So bold away.  Follow the rules, I mean.

It's such a pain to read that tiny print, guys!  I'm not at the level of needing a magnifier myself.  a bit of boldness makes it all right.

Al-Hamdulillah (From a Married Muslimah) La Howla Wa La Quwata Illa BiLLah - There is no Effort or Power except with Allah's Will.

Salaam HerJihad

Thank you for your feed back.  My intentions has never been to break any rules of any group. I'm too old for such crapp! I came here because I thought it was balanced. I try my best to stay in the middle, and it appears it is unwelcomed. My time is valuable to me.

I didn't know the rule about the bold nor did I know the rule about posting websites, I thought it was okay, and was just trying to particpate in the discussion?

Good grief, we lack patience with other people and are so quick to make judgement and come down hard on each other, no wonder our Ummah is in a state of fitnah.

Salaam

Mrs. Dia
