Hey.

There was a lot of 'it is all about courtesy and compassion' and, I agree. But... What about courtesy and compassion for me? What about comprimise in a way that BOTH people can retain their dignity? I do get that people don't understand where I am coming from on this. Once again, I don't require that people understand where I'm coming from - I just require that people respect it.

(And in particular that people grant that I have my own reasons and take me on my word that they are very important to me. And not jump to conclusions or attack or accuse me of not being courteous and compassionate).

> i politly ask people to bold thier font and make its a fairly dark colour

And you are well within your rights to do so.

> i need this or i cant stay in chat

I'm sorry but I don't believe this. This is making it sound like if someone doesn't do what it is that you ask of them then they are kicking or forcing you out of chat. They aren't kicking or forcing you out of chat, however. There are a number of options.

1) Put the person on ignore if one finds oneself squinting to see what they are saying
2) Don't even try and read what they are saying if it is too hard
3) Start another room
4) Change the colour of the text oneself in ones settings

These are all things that one can do to help oneself have a pleasant chat experience. When someone requests me change my colour or font I typically point out these other options to people. So they can manage their problem themself. Think of it as a form of self care.

> anybody that doesnt respect my illness i supose you could call it i boot out

And you are well within your rights to do so. I do hope, however, that you see that someone can respect you and respect what is going on for you but still say (in the gentlest possible way) 'No'.

I'm sorry that is so hard to hear.
