Is there any way to permanently disable the WYSIWYG editor?

[Alex K]

Using the WYSIWYG I always manage to produce an inconsistent mess of tags that can only be fixed manually.

I "love" how the WYSIWYG messes up things with colors. For instance, you wanna mark in blue just one word and then to keep writing in the default color and formatting. But no, the damn WYSIWYG doesn't let you change back to black, so you keep writing in blue. That's the thing I've always hated in WYSIWYG and I'm glad I finally I could disable that thing. WYSIWYG is the reason I never used any formatting on Atheist Forums until now - cuz once I start formatting, it's impossible to return to the default style.
Now I'm glad I can use all the formatting I like without making a mess!  

But always remember: With great powerformatting options comes great responsibility
