> [@Trunk](#): > > This message brought to you by the same folks who told you that dying your hair and getting a tattoo makes you more “colorful” and gives you “personality”. People do those things as an expression of their personality. Personally I wouldn’t get a tattoo or dye my hair green or orange because that’s not in line with my identity, and I suspect from your post neither would you for the same reason. 😉 If **spongemom** wants to color her posts purple, it’s an expression of who she is and I respect that. 🙂 On preview, **Larry Mudd** seems to be leading us down a slippery slope. :dubious: ---
