1. formatting; 2. choice of subsection

[SteelCurtain]

In the current guy's case, who we can talk about but not name (I know the rules), the guy's a nice guy overall, and making good contributions, and clearly identifies strongly with his color of choice.  I get it-- but after all that, I still feel such a persistent and excessive use of special fonts should be discouraged, ideally with a rule.

I don't understand what the issue is? You've been here over two years and this is the first (I'm assuming) person you've had to ignore because his font color choice bothers you. Suffice it to say, problem solved, no? It's not worth legislating the option out. The only colors a person can't choose are red and green. If they want to take the time out to type out the color tag or always use the full editor, good on them.

For me, the best solution would be a programming one-- a feature to force all forum text to black, or even to select your preferred font or whatever.  The second best would be people not using goofy fonts because it's pointless and annoying.  The third, I suppose, would be to follow your suggestion for me to fuck off, which language I would have preferred to your patronizing tone.

Are you going to do the programming? Are you going to do the CSS mods so that one poster every two years or so can't use a color that annoys one or two users? Are you going to install/purchase the plugin?

Come on, man. Don't be an asshole because someone pointed out that you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Rexbeccarox was being nice about it. I would imagine that's done with, now.
