I don't like them, but I'm a big dork who believes that hand-coded HTML builds character.
I'll throw my pork-pie hat in with the surly curmudgeons and say that, hell no, we don't need no fancy-schmancy visual editorializers. Back in the old days, we entered and styled our entries letter by letter, dagnabbit.

I don't mind them, but would rather see one with the heavy lifting done server side rather than a bolt-on type client side job. Especially one in Java, you could write off a 200 line rant for/against the yankees/red sox before that fired up in the JVM, probably :)
That double-post did nothing to enhance the credibility of my argument. But I chalk that up to advancing age, arthritis and poor eyesight.
I'd say no, only because it would encourage more styling. Other than bold and italic type, the styling takes away from the actual conversation.
I like my html, but then I hand-code whole pages from scratch. Keep it the way it is - it could be a bit open to abuse otherwise (ok, so it's open to abuse now from me, but abuse from me is fine).
that's not bad... maybe with less bells and whistles?
hand coding rules your face!
Plus we just can't do without some features.
But none of you has used an actual HTML tag yet. This is why we need the visual editors, to keep the amateurs from breaking shit ;)
I recently implemented one of these into a CMS I built (yes, from scratch-- don't ask why, just know I suffered). It works well, but it presents all sorts of problems with the incoming HTML. The good news was you could disable individual buttons with JavaScript. Otherwise you need to worry about mis-matched tags, half a table, etc.
I vote we revoke DrJohn's account. All with me say 'aye'.
No way man, scrolling text rules your face!
What's HTML ? ;-) Can't say I'm fussed either way to be honest, so long as we doin't go down the avatars, gifs, signatures etc route.
But I chalk that up to advancing age, arthritis and poor eyesight. You forgot to mention the hairy palms. So check this out, you will all be very proud of me. I am going to a Irish pub tomorrow morning at 9 AM to watch Latvia play the Czech Republic, then staying to watch Germany v Holland. Then you can bet I'll have some shit to say about it.
What a bunch of chuffing show offs!
/cheers wildly for vito90 First person to use the blink tag should be banned for life.
If there is anything we SHOULD have implemented, it's a way to stop people from doing something like this.
I don't see the need for a fancy editor, text is fine with me. BillSaysThis: Vito, I'm jealous!
The only legitimate use of the blink tag.
No visual editor!
No showing off!
Fat Buddha is such a wuss
Hmmm, that didn't work Doh!
Whoa, FB, that is huge.
A well placed "thats what she said" would be amusing here. But I'm too much of a refined lady to say that.
Hahaha Kwacky, preview is your friend.
