You are kidding...right? No? *bursts into uncontrolable giggles* Whats so bad about the font? Times New Roman is so serius, and Comic Sans is Readable. It's a cool font, but goes bad if you overuse it. On Bibles? Ridiculus. But...to ban it!? WHY?! These people overeact way too much. Oh dear...*bursts into an uncontrolable burst of laughter *

I hate it being used wherever. I used it at some point for school stuff, but meh, ew. D: Nobody better go banning Scriptina, Times New Roman and Tahoma though. D<

The people who want to ban comic sans have to be the dumbest losers on the planet....

I mean, marry someone because he hates comic sans too? And keep a poster in your daughter's bedroom that charts your typographical crusade? Not to mention that they have no reason to ban it other than their own personal prejudice....

It's official. They are the biggest losers in the world.

Why ban Comic Sans? D: I remember writing many of my literature projects in this fonts when I was younger. Although it may seem overrated, banning a font is pretty ridiculous. Might as well ban other fonts you don't like if that's the case.

It was the font used on my profile for a while, too. :<
This is going to far.

I love usin' this font. [ignore=current font of my profile page]

Yeah, I think they are going too extreme for this. Why are they trying so hard on a font? There are other things in this world that should have this attention!

How does it look nooby?. It's just a font, nothing negative about it.
Banning a font? ^^;
That doesn't seem very logical...
Comic Sans is a fun font, I don't see any reason why they would want to ban it. ^^;
Read the thread before posting a reply.

They want it banned from professional use not your lame internet use, fyi. Why? It's a terribly unprofessional font and is so overused to the point where it just makes half the world's population look even more retarded than they already are. Tell me how banning it from use in restaurants, Bibles, etc. is unreasonable and crazy and stupid? Is the Bible a comic book? Is your food menu a comic book? That's what I thought.

Most of the pro-ban supporters will think differently after watching this.
xDD Man, that was hilarious.

People have way to much time on their hands today.
Agreed. What the heck is the big deal if letters look like this?

How is it unprofessional? How is it overused? How is it anymore overused than Times New Roman and Tahoma and Arial? Just because something is typed or written a certain way doesn't necessarily change it's importance.

That still doesn't mean it's not a matter of taste. The people who want it banned are still the biggest losers I've ever heard of, and I could care less about comic sans.
And how am I a loser because I cannot stand seeing a certain font in public? I'm a graphic artist with a natural eye for design, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about and isn't just about taste.

In fact, I love Comic Sans in web comics and whatnot, because that's where it belongs. But when I go to a restaurant, I want my menu to be something professional, and not a font that makes it look like a child made the menu, and thus a child owns the restaurant.

That's just plain dumb. It's just a dumb font. Grow up.
Thank you for calling my opinion dumb. Shall I do the same to yours, or do you care to elaborate and provide a mature and logical reason behind your statement?

Then state how it's dumb please. Especially since I directly support that article and I take offense to your comment about it being dumb. Do not say something if you can't back it up.

If you don't recognize the relativity of things like this (as well as most other things).....well, I won't say what I would normally say about you, for fear of receiving more hostile, mean-spirited comments. All I'll say is that I think you are being judgemental, as well as that you have an inflated ego.

Touche, didn't mean to come off as egotistical, but I did, bleh.

Anyways, I've taken courses in typography, and there's a right time and place for every font. Comic Sans doesn't belong in things like Bibles, etc. based on the principles of typography. And because I have studied and appreciate graphic arts, I support the motion to ban the font from public use because it's become something of a nuisance to me (and others who support the ban as well).

And relevance is a very subjective thing, because clearly this topic is relevant to me, whereas you could care less, obviously.

No offense, but I think the so-called "fights" are what keep internet forums from being boring.
Then go somewhere else please. We don't do that on this forum. Now I said what I said and I meant what I meant. Not debatable.

Agreed. And we aren't fighting, we're discussing two points of view. Personal attacks are fighting, and there's hardly been anything close to a personal attack (or one that's big enough to matter).

Then I will keep from arguing, but I have to say, I think you will get an intellectually stagnant forum if debate is discouraged.

Eh, I only reported so that someone could step in and stop the name calling (before anything got out of hand). I guess I'm not fighting, but they are?
