Again, I think at the core of things you're agreeing with me in a backwards fashion, and I'm rather bothered that you're trying to give me a lecture on something that I already know and generally agree with. However, I think you should reconsider the basis of language. To be blunt, words mean things. Words are tools used for communication, yes. but what they are is symbols representing something. The key thing here is that names are different from other words. Someone's name is their unique identifier that represents them, only them, and exactly them. I don't want to go into a True Name speel, so I won't, but it's perfectly reasonable for someone's name to not fit them, and although it's not a problem it can bother some people but not everyone and they'd strongly prefer to be referred to by a correct identifier.

for example, lets say that everyone in the world decided that, no matter what you wanted or were used to or were comfortable with, your name was hereby Hitler, and that your gender pronoun was she. It doesn't matter if you're male, if you don't like that name, or what you want at all. It's just a symbol right? It doesn't matter that it's wrong, or that it's associated with something you don't consider a part of you, it's yours now, deal with it.

See how that's actually really offensive? See WHY it's offensive?

words mean things.

To butt into this conversation and also put something that I feel is interesting, I've always felt that certain words sound perfect for what they represent.
Like 'Sphere', it just has that smooth, rounded sound, doesn't it?

I can stop asking people if they want to do that if you guys want. I just do it because I feel that sometimes either I don't understand or they don't understand the situation and I don't want a simple mistake to end in a police raid.

But if people want to do something, I'll let them do it.







Also I made a machine for Poison pills. I'm half tempted to go perplexicon with it.

I think Dead Man running is my favourite bit of ER so far that I've read.

anyone know what the various custom colors are you can change your text to, beyond the default ones in the toolbar? Is there a list somewhere? I ask because I've been trying to find a good compromise between main text color and background glow that makes my text stand out decently against both themesets (light and dark). Limegreen works on the darkling, and I really like how it pops with a teal background ,but  Ithink I didn't use that one here because someone else had it. I've been using limegreen with a green glow, but the green disappears into the grey of the darkling background. that's okay for me, because hte lime stands out on it's own, but, I'm constantly fiddling with it. I'd like a color list, with comparison between the two themes so I can just go:these colors suck for darkling (looking at you, purple. I think. Can't really tell - you're so hard to see) and these suck for light (probably yellow, for instance)

I dunno about the list of named colors, but you can use hex codes. (#123456)
All the colors!

EDIT: @Ozarck: The forum manual states that you can use any of the HTML colour names:
