That's just making assumptions. Someone doesn't post in a forum to interact with EVERY single person. Someone who posts with font that you find annoying isn't necessarily doing it to be frustrating. They very likely don't find their own font annoying, they find it FUN. I get being rightfully annoyed that colorful fonts are less accessible (if you're one of the folks who get headaches seeing bright font on white bg, for example, that's totally understandable) but if your general assumptions are just that people are purposefully being obnoxious, or "evil" as the last anon said, you're probably just really grumpy. Which is fine, just admit it to yourself. We all aren't going to mesh, just do your petty block and move on without having to put all the "blame" on that other person to justify your action, or suggesting one of the few customizeable corners of the internet is stripped down over a very small number of people being "cringe."
AYRT It seems you're the one making assumptions. Please point out to me where I said forums were for interacting with EVERY single person. Please point out to me where I said people found their own font annoying. Please point out to me where I said anyone was purposefully being obnoxious.
What I said was that they can cause others to FEEL that way, and yes it's mostly because they don't realize how their poor font choice actually affects other people. I think most of the blockers know it's not malicious, but it's annoying regardless of why. Plus, they don't owe an interaction with EVERY person on the forums, isn't that right?
