“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
JohnT and Tuome got it. Actually I first saw it appear in one of our AC fiction discussion threads for Beyond Alpha Centauri. It's commonplace there since there are big long posts that cover several different plotlines and it's simpler when reading to catch up the plotline you are involved in. So that when one skims through the thread, he can ignore the discussion not directed at him and concentrate on the things important to him. Then, I guess, it migrated to the OTF when Frankychan or someone else from the story 'crew' started to post here and used the bolding. Properly used it's quite effective, methinks.
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

Eh, I kind of like it. It clarifies to whom you are talking, and, for people perusing the threads, it makes it easier to look for people who actually replied to your post.
Not that much easier. Most people can scan normal text for certain words and phrases without emphasis. In fact, undue uses of emphases disrupt the normal flow. It's a poor practice.

Ah, but that's different. See, the emphasis is not actually accusatory when the person isn't a subclause.
Read the following out loud and compare:
I was walking down the street and I saw john ahead of me, carrying a large parcel.
You were carrying a large parcel yesterday, weren't you, john?
