You realise he like, used to be an Admin or something,  and also hasn't posted since like, 2002.

[mobius]Members who once were Admins no longer have posts, though.[/mobius]

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with your broken English, and everything to do with the way you speak as if your word is of God.

[mobius]It's people like you who make me annoying. You write things I don't agree with, leading me to reply. And then you come out with the "Mobius is annoying" thing, which is the way too convenient.

As I said, my only "fault" is caring about things and replying. That's it.[/mobius]

Again, I wasn't talking to you. However, you should figure out how to use and understand hyperbole in English. It'll help. And If you're Italian,  you should color your posts like Pizza, or Green/White/ Red. Everytime.

[mobius]Cut the racism here. You probably, if not surely, eat more pizzas than I do.

Oh, about Green/White/Red, tell me if there are any brown parts in Australia's flag (because you mentioned BW and his style being connected to Australia)... :rolleyes:[/mobius]

Is this thread going to reach a resolution? Or are we just going to keep flaming each other until it gets locked?

Australia is a brown place. Outback? Brown. Kangaroos? Brown. Aboriginals? Brown. Fosters? Well... golden.  Archaeology? Brown.

Also, I love pizza.

[mobius]It is not my intention to flame other members, really.[/mobius]

[mobius]Isn't Italy a lightblue place, then? Seas, nice skies, lightblue sport teams? I don't understand your point now, really.[/mobius]

Also, I love pizza.

[mobius]Then you should be the coloring posts like pizza. :p[/mobius]

Are we actually going to discuss a solution to this 'problem' or are we here just to discuss pizza?

- I guess the Adriatic might be blue. But everyone's skies are blue, except for LA, England and China's. So, fail.

- I'd love custom [KT] flags that make my posts into pizza. nomnomnomnom.

[mobius]It's not politically correct to simply remove the colors. The Admins accepted them at the beginning so a solution like the one proposed by Topgun is without any doubt the most coherent one.[/mobius]

[mobius]Check the weather forecasts. Are you sure England's skies are comparable to Italy's? :P[/mobius]

I didn't say anything about that.

What I meant is, are we discussing anything productively, or are we just spamming pizza?

Yeah. England's weather is always overcast, so I'll post in white. Close enough to grey.

Re: Allow people to use their own font styles in posts?
I'm against it, BW and Maeg, and even Mobius have been quite sensible with their choices, but I don't want to have to start cleaning posts of size 28 bright pink comic sans etc...

Edit: Besides, there are certain combinations of foreground/background, that I cannot read, Dark Green on Black, for example, other people may have colour blindness which would make matters even harder for them.
