When I was a kid, there was a year or so where everyone made fun of my father because he made a woman he worked with cry. We were like "Aww, you're such a mean guy!" and he took it in stride because giving each other shit was just how we were raised, but I was reminded of the reason he made this girl cry when I started reading this thread. Basically, he is a machinist for a living, and he was in charge of supervising the floor. She was younger than him, but I don't remember how much younger because I never actually met her. Anyway, she was supposed to write reports for either him or one of the higher-up managers, but she had this habit of drawing flowers and bunnies and shit like that all over the reports. Just really into doodling I suppose. Anyway, my father told her that it was incredibly unprofessional to doodle all over reports because it made them all look bad to management, and so she cried. 

Presentation isn't something to gawk at. Certain lapses of presentation signify something broader about the presenter. In the same way a resume written in crayon suggests the applicant isn't taking their application seriously, or a traditional novel written in comic-sans might suggest an author who doesn't not respect his readers, or inventory reports with flowers and bunnies drawn in the margins looks unprofessional, an RP written with colors suggests immaturity in the RPer. I'm going to be blunt here, the attitude that it is difficult to read without runescapeing out all your text is an example of what I mean. If you actually actively [i]hate[/i] the words themselves, if you have contempt for the writing and feel like the text needs to be gawdy and colorfied, then I don't want you in an RP with me. The idea that you use colors to symbolize who is talking suggests to me you want to skip the text and just read bits of dialogue, which is fine if we are preteens twittering twilight fanfic, but if we are going to write something with substance then all the shit in between the colored dialogue matters just as much as the dialogue itself.

Like, if you are coming out and telling me now, in this thread, that you don't have the attention span to actually read a thing straight, then you've proved every point I have made.
