Beat me to it, I was just about to suggest a poll lol.


Quite frankly MrsLime I think you stand pretty much alone on this issue. You are the first person in 18 months to mention that they find my posts in any way offensive, annoying or irritating. I do not believe they stand out as much as you believe they do, I feel it is more the case that you feel you have found something to pick at so will run with it if you can.

I will not change the purple, it's as much of my identity on blonde as my name or my sig line, and trying to make a point by using bright red highlight over yellow font simply looks foolish.

By the way "Imagine if every member was so undignified as to have....." that to me is making a judgement.

First of all: woah, please hold your horses (Norse or otherwise).  I am not judging anyone's personality or character here.  Remember I am not commenting on the content of anyone's posts.  But, on a page with, say, a dozen replies, one post that is a different colour from the rest will naturally stand out.  I am wondering why any person would want to make their post stand out.  My personal view is that I find mildly annoying those posts that do not warrant highlighting but nevertheless are highlighted.  This is, of course, a subjective view.  Objectively, however, a case could be made that this practice reduces the effectiveness of posts that do actually warrant highlighting.


This same argument was used to help perpetuate the practise of racial segregation.

I find your posts offensive, annoying and irritating.

The colour doesn't bother me though....

I'm the exact opposite as I find coloured text easier to read, so I have to highlight everything on most web pages. That has nothing to do with my font colour choice though.

I like the colour purple.  I wasn't keen on the movie even though it always gets good reviews, but as far as text colour goes, purple is just fine by me  thumbs up
