Seriously, black-on-dark-blue is an absolute pain to read. Black-on-dark green is only slightly better. Both are really irritating.

Such a pleasant way to greet people, Spud, we should name you as FR's PR specialist.  Welcome back Moonshadow!

If one of your co-workers went on sabbatical for a year, and then on the day of his return, he kicked in the door and had a gigantic megaphone strapped to his head so that everything he said made your ears bleed, would you still feel obligated to treat him to a "Welcome back, buddy!" before asking him to turn it down?

Making a post is hardly equivalent to "kicking the door open" or using a megaphone, especially given the fact that you can simply choose not to read it if such activities gall you so much.

I can't elect to not read his post until I've already entered the thread and had my eyes raped by his stylistic choices.

And I can't simply avoid threads he starts, because what if he replies to someone else's thread? I could be reading a thread and then BAM, bleeding eyes.

It's inconsiderate to the rest of the board for him to use such a dark background colour. Hell... I'd argue that using any background colour on a regular basis is pretty damn ugly, but we won't get into that. I'm choosing my battles.

It was a question of tact and timing, but I forgot for a moment who I was talking to, so I shall say no more on the matter.

Trying to make me change my mind is a little like trying to convince gravity to just let go.

...that was kinda a pointless argument in a welcome back thread. Very good job, gang.

Anyway, welcome back Moonshadow, and by extension, Giga Pulse

Wonderful to find that, although I haven't read the forums in eons, the Spudster has not changed one bit.   :lol:

This coming from a guy whom has a full on crotch shot in his avatar pic. Everytime I read a thread with a post by you my eyes are being molested by your close up / angle choices.

It's inconsiderate to the creator of the thread not to post anything regarding the subject matter of the thread. 





So your next post could be eventhough you are raping my eyes I am glad you are back *just a thought, use it, don't use it*
