I missed the thread on chat.

I just wanted to say that I have had a person request that I change my txt colour because they were having trouble seeing what I was saying. I... Moved to bold and asked if it was better and the person said that it wasn't and could I please change the colour. I thought about it and... Decided not to. I posted that I was sorry, but that I preferred to keep my colour.

How come? Because sometimes something supposedly 'little' or 'insignificant' can be an important expression of ourself. I like posting in a shadowy grey colour... It is a form of self expression for me. I understand that the person was having trouble seeing the colour and I was prepared to comprimise (by moving to bold). I wasn't prepared to forsake that altogether, however.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with someone making a polite request for someone to change colour or font or whatever. But similarly, I don't think that there is anything wrong with someone politely declining to change colour or font or whatever. If a particular font or colour is distressing then one can put the person on ignore if that is what one needs to do. If a particular font or colour is too hard to read then one can simply not read what that person has to say.

Drawing the line is hard. Sometimes life is about comprimise... And doing what one needs to do in order to look out for oneself.
