I don't have that much of a problem with it.

Bitstream Vera fonts. www.bitstream.com/font_rendering/products/dev_fonts/vera.html. You will never find a better set of fonts than these. Well, at least, not until a better set is made. But for now, these are probably the best out there. Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is especially powerful when it comes to programming. In my personal opinion, it is superior to the standard Courier/Courier New font that so many people use. That being said, I don't think Comic Sans is bad, per se, it has simply been over-used. Much as a popular song gets overplayed until those who once loved it grow to hate it, so has happened with Comic Sans.

Just to spite this man, I think we should make this whole board Comic Sans.

I hate Comic Sans, but hate people who want to inflict their tastes on other even more. Which is, I guess, why I'm here.

I'm seriously considering changing the Main Page's CSS to comic sans just to annoy these people... but honestly it doesn't work all to well for many things.

By that logic, we should also ban Courier, Times, Times New Roman and Helvetica!
It's just a fuckin' font, people. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Seriously, Comic Sans is a hideous font. Ugh. Every time I see it, on a webpage, in an email, or (Cthulhu forbid) IRL, I shudder.
...but on the other hand, PZ Myers needs it to mock the fundies who email him! So we can't ban it!

It is a fairly ugly font, but trying to ban it is just silly. The people from Ban Comic Sans seriously need to find something better to do with their time.

*Sigh* I knew it was going to happen someday...I just didn't think...well not like this. I guess I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that computers have jumped the shark...
