I don’t care if you actually DO live in the purplest place on earth, you’re like an obsessive-compulsive five year old with a Barney fetish. > > Just stop. \*\* This is something that was bothering me for quite a while now, but I felt a little silly pitting about it (I generally don’t feel the need to pit people). I see an opportunity to state my opinion; sorry to piggy-back, **Sue**. I’ll try not to pile on as much as possible. Is there a chance that you could stop writing in purple? I like to read all I can here, and in the case you might say something noteworthy, my eyes will face an assault for doing so, thanks to the similarty between your color of choice and the background color that is usually pleasing to the eyes. Might you consider using plain old black? I won’t think you any less raisin-y for it. ---

When I first saw the person being Pitted I thought that someone finally snapped over the lame ass purple thing as well. It wasn’t clever when you started it, and it is even lamer now. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > \*\*Aren’t raisins dark brown? At least they’re silent… \*\* See, being color-blind like **Monty** is, I thought raisins were black myself. And I only found out that the are (largely so) purple when I asked **auntie em** why the heck **raisinbread** was posting in blue when raisins are clearly black. “No,” **auntie em** said, “they’re purple.” “Of course they aren’t,” I said. “The California Raisins weren’t purple–they were black. In fact, my little brother dressed up as one for Halloween when he was a wee kiddie. He made the costume himself and the costume was black.” “Didn’t you tell me that your little brother is color-blind as well?” “Screw you.” (Not said in anger, of course. I just figure that if I end all of our discussions that way, she just might let me one day. ;)) Anyway, I don’t mind **raisinbread** posting in blue (ahem!) like she does, except for the fact that everyone knows that raisins are black. ---

Let me join the raisins are black crowd. [hijack] Now that they are putting all that fruit in cereal now-- will future generations look at us funny for eating cereal with raisins in it? Will they even know what raisins are? Well, hopefully the cinnamon raisin bagel will keep the raisin industry afloat. I would hate get to “spare changed” on a street corner by an out of work California Raisin due to the rapid inroads of the dehydrated strawberries, blueberry and raspberry products into the cereal industry. BTW, Berry Blast Cheerios is really, really good. [/hijack] ---

It could be worse. She could be a white raisin. ---

No, now I’m not going to join the pile-on about the purple text. I used to have purple hair. If raisinbread wants to be way too purple, that’s OK with me. ---

Back to the OP, I think **Steve Wright’s** comments bear repeating. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Steve Wright \* > \*\ ***Truth Seeker** , I have to register some measure of disagreement … if prisoners have been executed by the Iraqis, it _is_ a serious matter, but it is _not_ for you to judge, it’s for a properly constituted war crimes tribunal. And, in the interim, friends and relatives of those soldiers likely do not appreciate having the bloody corpses of their loved ones displayed on the Internet … \*\* If that dead soldier that you think you have the right to view on the network news was your brother/husband/friend, I think you may understand **Persephone’s** vehemence. There’s a reason the Geneva convention maintained certain war-related decorums. ---

Posting in purple makes the dead Mr. Rogers cry. (Anyone remember Purple Panda?) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Airman Doors, USAF \* > How did you manage to get through the military physical with colorblindness? > > I don’t mean that in a bad way, merely curious. Same here, **Airman**. Kept me off of flying duty for my specialty, but that was it. I guess they were afraid I couldn’t tell the ground from the sky (although my color-blindness is very mild - I can see the purple posts, but yellow on a light background is invisible - I always thought raisins were dark purple myself…oh well). ---

My dad was in the AF during the Korean war/police action. He was a photo interpreter. Back then, of course, they only had black and white aerial photos, which is what he worked with. He WAS disqualified from a number of jobs because of his colorblindness. My nephew always gets the first deer of the season, and generally gets the most deer, too, because apparently he can just spot them better. Sorry for the hijack, I just think that colorblindness is interesting. ---

I cannot believe people are getting upset about someone posting in a different color. For Chrissakes, that’s anal. Bet you’re the same folks that bitch about someone wearing white after Labor Day, aren’t you? ---

I like **raisinbread’s** purple text. I also think the OP is overly harsh. It was posted _after_ the second thread had already been closed, it was clear from the second thread that **raisin** was trying act according to the rules. She was well-meaning, if misguided, and I don’t feel that terms like “dumb bitch”, “stupid bitch”, and “lame cunt” are appropriate. Regardless of the OP’s gender, I also find those terms sexist, and verging on the gender equivalent of race hate. ---
