I'm rather indifferent to you so this doesn't really apply to me. but i feel as if i should still comment.
duly noted and thuroughly rejected. saying something like this to someone who has no opinion of you has no bearing. therefore it has no purpose. in which case it's meaningless to talk about your personality when someone is indifferent.
define normal. and how does typing in default make someone stiff and or civilized? honestly if you care about what we read from you at all, the basics of communication is to be clear and legible.
that's common knowledge. if you type in a color that makes it hard to read, people ,might get annoyed. possibly because they're expressing interest in your post and ergo care about what you have to say even if it's to a degree. typing in a hard to read color when that interest is there can get annoying.
same goes about how someone talks/types. <-- i fall in that category. people find me difficult to read or even comprehend because i tend to talk differently or at times use a different vocabulary entirely. in this i'm no different from you. i'm being selfish about my own comfort levels, and not caring about the thoughts or feelings of others. so if you wish to be creative and imaginative and simply not care about others and their feelings.. please. continue to write in hard to read colors. however, choosing a more legible color might be in fact a way to assuage the temperament of others while appealing to your own personal creative beliefs.
whatever floats your boat... but i don't think it's intimidation that certain people are experiencing. annoyance and irritation.. but again, these people just want to understand what you have to say without having to select/highlight your post or even quote you, just so that what you say is clear. or maybe not. usually i'm not one to talk for other people, but in this, it's my own personal perspective on the subject of color in text.
if you say so.
