I do not want to wonder what Geoff is wearing when he posts. I don't want to see what he's wearing when he posts. I don't want to know what he's wearing when he posts. Or what he isn't wearing, which is why I worry.
recluse, your .sig is ... um ... how do I put this politely? Oh, I give up. But if people are responding incoherently to you, that .sig (specifically in dimensions, spacing, and especially color) could be responsible. |

As for the color, what color? I see black and grey. Whatever you're seeing is your problem. |

I got a great card for my recent birthday:

There's no need for that kind of self-aggrandizement. I ramble on way too long (I'm trying to cut it down, honest!) but I like to think I'm saying something worth reading. I've never felt the need to make my formatting "special"; if there's specialness to be had, I trust my words to do that. As a result, I'm profoundly suspicious of anyone who uses things other than their words to try to make their post stand out and gain unearned attention. |

ok, well, just because I am the bull in the china shop sort, and the mods all seem to have copped a passive agressive sort of deal, I guess I shall go where no MR has gone before...

Regarding someone else posting in green, we have taken note. And I agree, it could be misleading. So far common sense worked fine that nobody would use the green for normal posts, but we haven't explicitly said that the green is off-limits, or we might just as well remove it from the list of available colors.
As someone who is not a fan of too many rules and restrictions, I think common sense will prevail and this won't be a big issue. Of course, if everyone started posting in green now (please don't... ), then we would have to reconsider. |

I'ed just like to jump in and say that I'm apparently the self aggrandizing poster Worldwalker is whining about.
And since he is one of those people who complains about my words even without the signature, I suggest he avoid me. I'm not here to make him happy. |

At least, you are not the party that I was referring to when I started this thread. There IS a member, though, who always posts in green, and his (her?) posts always make me think somebody is getting yelled at! |

Actually, Worldwalker attacked my signature specifically earlier in this thread.
And has yet to apologize. You'll find that when I am serious, I'm usually right. 99.9% of the time. |
