😆 😆 😆

So apparently some visitor to the Fortress, this “css-petal” (hahaha!), happened upon my little rant session about new HTML standards and a few shortcomings of CSS, and got rather offended! I mean, I’ve bordered on stuff around here that could be construed as xenophobic or anti-gay (neither of which is true of me, by the way, I said “construed as”, pay attention!), but saying a disparaging word about strict HTML has crossed a fucking line! Oh, no!

So let this be a dire warning to you all. If you dare to knock CSS like I have, beware that a CSS troll may be hiding under a nearby bridge waiting to devour you for your horrid misdeeds. It is a very nasty troll. Here is how to notice it.

-It doesn’t bother to realize that you really didn’t knock CSS that badly but the rant was instead more about W3C HTML standards, and CSS caught only friendly fire.

-It doesn’t bother to use capital letters, a very common troll characteristic.

-It is bent on being, well, a troll over dissing CSS without bothering to notice that every single fucking page on this website uses fucking CSS!

So watch out. The CSS troll could be lurking just about anywhere, ready to strike if you utter a single negative word about the “font-weight” attribute. Tell your friends. Lest they uncover the absolute dreadful horror of…. *GASP* …. a random stranger on the Internet being unhappy with what they’ve said!

Good luck, my friends. Good luck.
