Why the whispers?

if it’s off topic I always try to put everything in whispers.

I don’t understand the correlation between whispers and being off topic, but thanks for giving me some idea as to why this occurs.

It doesn’t stand out as obvious as the regular size text does. One has an easier time discerning it if they’re just skimming over stuff that doesn’t apply.

If it is off topic or a sidebar, I try to whisper. Sometimes people get into off topic conversations that they hold in whisper. I think this is appropriate.

I agree w/ EP & poof. If I whisper I do it out of deference to the question asker and the other people reading the thread. Kinda like me announcing….“no need to tell me I am off topic and scold me….I already know….I am just going to say this quick and be done..”

example:
@sueanne: what kind of drink is your avatar?

@snoopy: I would answer but I can’t read your question because it’s too small….

a Margarita

I think whispering within a normal text response is helpful. Completely whisper text is annoying. Just my opinion.

LOL

A whisper is supposed to be something that is said, so others will not overhear.

For that reason alone, if I have something to say to someone that needs to be “whispered,” I’ll just PM the person.

For me, they’re just more difficult to read!

If it helps those of you who are hyperopic, in web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Safari, you can easily zoom the text size larger by hitting Ctrl + (Ctrl key and the Plus key). And zoom the size back smaller with Ctrl— (Ctrl key and the Hypen or Minus key) .

iPhone… Teeeensy little letters!

For iPhone, double-tap or the two-finger pinch/expand. (‘course, you already knew that. ツ)

Oh yeah! I forgot!!!! Duh for me…
