Is “spongemom” considered an oxymoron? Is a “Grapist” someone who gropes others against their will? Oh yeah, the purple posts are stupid. Try to get attention by having something interesting to add. ---

> [@Spongemom](#): > > white? 😃 White’s good. Seriously, I do find posts that are in odd colors (i.e., not black) and fonts to be somewhat annoying except for the rare occasion when they are used for a specific purpose. But not annoying enough to pit you or anything, so don’t worry about me. 🙂 ---

> [@Trunk](#): > > too late. No, not quite. Trying to help someone that you think might not realize what forum they’re in (as has been known to happen) isn’t the same as playing junior mod. By your reply though, it seems I was mistaken and you were fully aware of your surroundings and just don’t care. So be it. ---

Nothing personal but posting in any color seems like a great way to ensure that your post will be ignored but most dopers. ---

So be it. What you’re mistaken about is I didn’t say anything Pit-worthy in my post. Sure, I wasn’t exactly cordial, but lack of grace doesn’t equal pitting. MPSIMS doesn’t stand for “everyone be nice to everyone else, especially people who seem to just be making a post to advertise their presence.” That would be EBNTEEEPWSTJBMAPTATP. ---
