a rant from Mr B
So, when I was reading your blog and ran across gigantic open-quotes, I started grinding my teeth. Now, I notice that your last couple of posts didn't use quotation marks at all. Hopefully, you got the 'giant quotation graphic' urge out of your system. If not, please, please, pretty-please do so as soon as possible. Preferably in private."The big ol' quote marks were one response to those who told me it wasn't always clear which words were mine and which were someone else's. This color is another one. But I value a loyal and helpful reader enough to let a major preference of his override a very minor one of mine. So the above is the last you'll see of the big ol' quote marks.
At least for now.
Until I find the urge irresistible ...

I like the big quotes, but maybe if they were less ugly they would offend others less. I would leave them as a flat, solid white, without all the cheesy 3D glow effects.
As long as you're letting your readers tell you what to do, do it my way. Do it!
Sheesh, it's bad enough that some people find our opinions offensive, but now we're offending 'em with Big Quotes! What next?
