It may be a character flaw in me, I don't know, but I would prefer that others read what I say than to ignore me. If it's important enough for me to say, then it's important enough to be read by others. If it's difficult for someone to read what I'm saying, there's no problem with changing my font color.

But on the other hand, if I know that my color is causing physical harm to someone, then changing my font color is imperative. I care enough for other people to not want to cause them physical harm.

It's WORDS and how they are put together that have the impact, that tell others who you are, not the color. IMO, if someone feels they must use a certain color, whether it can't be read or it hurts, then why even be in chat? It's all about "you" (generally speaking) and has little or nothing to do with the receiver of your words. You might as well be talking to the four walls or journaling. The chat rooms are to Communicate, to reach out and touch, to make a point, to feel less alone, to receive back these things.

If I ask someone to change their red or orange font and tell them that it causes me migraines, then I expect a little understanding and compassion. If that person doesn't have those qualitites, then I really don't care what they have to say. It can't be all that good... without understanding and compassion. They're not someone I care to communicate with anyway.
