I thought you just liked Radiohead:
If I’m wrong, well, no surprises.

Acting funny, but I don’t know why.
'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.
I’m sorry to be a curmudgeon, but it does bug me a bit, though I couldn’t really tell you why. It’s like you’re trying too hard to mark your individuality, or something.
That’s only my opinion, so feel free to tell me to take a hike.
What jjimm said, only more curmudgeonly.
Because you’re a fan of Isaac Asimov.
No, I think raisinbread is a fan of Alice Walker’s novel The Color Purple. 
That, or s/he identifies with eggplants somehow?!? (eggplants and raisins… what a combination!)
Or s/he is a fan of the rock group Deep Purple. (of “Smoke on the Water” fame)

Maybe telling us we should eat the purple acid?
Damn it, Skelji stole my answer. [sub]Well, not really, but I wish I’d posted that. It was funny.[/sub]
So I’ll guess “to be irritating”.
Because purple is the color of royalty.
Seeking attention?
Jeez. Are we STILL on this subject??
Bwahahahahaha!!!
I need to go re-read that story! 
The Flying Sorcerers by Niven and Gerrold. An earthman comes to a world where all the gods are named after science-fiction authors…but somehow one SF writer is missing from the pantheon. It’s not until late in the book that it clicks that the earthman, nicknamed “The Purple Magician”, who’s had trouble with his universal translator since day one isn’t actually named “As a color, a shade of purple-grey”. First, it should be punctuated “As. A. Color-a-shade-of-purple-grey” aka “As-a-mauve”. Geddit?
And put me in the “annoying gimmick that screams “NOTICE ME, DAMMIT!”, but I’m not about to have apoplexy” camp

Interesting suppositions, some of these. Funny, as well. I have no idea why you post in purple, I can’t say I’ve thought that much about it, really.
As for me, why I don’t post in purple is for some of the reasons I’ve seen here. I hope that those who read my posts are reading for what I say, and/or because they like me. Notice the purrple in my username. I have liked purple since I was a little girl; long before it was “fashionable” to like purple. Oddly enough, most people think the shades of purple I wear look good on me. Or, at least, they’re too kind to say otherwise…
I have a friend that only posts in lime green (on another board). Still haven’t figured out why.
Now THAT would be annoying!
I think that posting in different colors or posting like this is saying "hey, look I’m being different!" b u t 's drawing negative attention and your posts are getting more scrutiny because your posts are going against the normal acceptable style.
So, please stop, Thankya very much.
After days of seeing the opinions rattle back and forth on this, as the Pit thread Aslan2 linked to started out as ATMB, then went to the depths (and might come here to pair up with this one, who knows?) …
Look, raisinbread, just go do whatever you want, short o’ breaking the actual rules. Who really cares? So long as you don’t give th’ hamster a coronary, please. Ta!
It IS annoying.
No shit, Sherlock. 
Not anymore. At least in this forum. Let’s keep the subsequent conversation confined to the active Pit thread.
