  • Itallics in qotes have got to go

    Come on, they're a strain for the eyes.

    This is barely readable, especially when the text is long
    Can something be done?

    Eh, I have no problems with it. Now, I remember when I was about nine I went through this phase where I painstakingly added serifs to all the letters in my handwriting, time permitting...damn, what an eyesore that was!

      What if we are quoting self biased?

        I used to draw a solid line over the tops of my words in solidarity with my Indian friends.

                  Presumably because it somehow gets you an illicit encounter with a woman.

                    Well then it will appear as non-italicised text.

                    Perhaps the only solution is to only allow self biased to be quoted?

                      I don't need a good slant for that. i've already got one. Not to mention that i'm trying to reign that sort of thing in; the whole womanizing thing isn't nearly as much fun as i remember it to be, though my current view may be tainted.
