The hell it's not what you meant.  Just because you found passive-aggressive wording for it doesn't mean you weren't giving me a clear message that I should shut up or get out of Dodge.

Don't ever presume to tell me what I actually meant; especially after I've told you otherwise.  I was not giving you anything of the sort, and your projection doesn't make it so.  I don't know what your problem is, but you are way out of line here.

Quote:I post several posts a day here, and you are saying that this is probably not the place for me.  Do you not see the insensitivity in saying that?

I'm sorry; when was I ever tasked with being sensitive? I didn't say this is not the place for you; if you like it here, I of course want you to stay.  What I said is that the internet is probably not for you if one little pink post is too much for you to handle, and you require an entire forum to change their rules because of something you could almost literally encounter anywhere online.

Quote:And who says that I'm only making this post just for myself?  As far as I know, I'm a member of a community here, and in reasonably good standing.  Since I was already thinking about formatting and visual/neurological issues, it occurred to me that many people in the world are epileptic, and I thought I'd mention that as an issue that might not have been considered yet.  You don't think the site should be made friendly for epileptics?  Okay, that's fine, but consider this: 1% of people are epileptic right now, 4% will develop some form of epilepsy in their lives, and this forum probably has more than 100 members.

But, Benny, you're the only one really complaining here.  Font/color rules have never been a thing here, at least in the almost three years I've been here. Why should staff be tasked with more rules to enforce that would apply to so little activity on the forum and that only seem to affect one person?  

Quote:But even if I'm a minority of one, and everyone's fine with walls of special fonts and re-blue strobing gifs, I don't see that putting in my two cents should result in you telling me the "internet's not the place for you."  It is, in fact, probably the only place for me.

That's great.  You need to come to terms with the internet, then. Again, that's not meant to be mean, rather, it's the nature of things online.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
