My advice is to ignore a user who doesn't conform to your requirements.
It's not your place to tell me what I should/shouldn't be able to do with my free time. This is a solvable technical problem, solvable by either site programmers who can easily give better control over how the site displays (I know this for a fact as I'm personally capable of doing it), or the person who insists on using strangely-colored fonts, or by me-- since I found the "Ignore" button which you bothered to tell me how to find in that "other" thread.
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.
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.
Wow. "Fuck off" wasn't even close to what I meant; I thought I was pretty nice about it, but now... well, you can go ahead and take your own suggestion.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
