No, it's not.

It's used to filter out the irrelevant text, and focus the readers' attention.

Alinta, lately it has occurred to me we are all teachers. We're constantly teaching other people about ourselves. Pecker's teaching me that he is just a troll.

Check and mate.
This is where the 'C' strikes through the 'check and mate'.

Indeed, which is why I mentioned some of those trolls in an earlier post.

Yadda's nonsensical posts and Herbert's racist trolling, for example, irritate a lot of people here.

Not me though. I just find it amusing.

I don't understand how someone could be irritated by characters on a screen, typed by a complete stranger.

People need to chill.

Is it up to you to understand what upsets people? How about NOT irritating people when you can reasonably avoid it?

Good advice.

I suggest you mention it to those forum members I mentioned earlier, as well as taking it on-board yourself.
