Christmas spirit is greeting me with a good old fat whack of cold temperatures, sleep deprivation, and doing embarrassing THINGS, (damnable wordfilters, every time) at bizarre times of day.
I think everyone's feeling it.

He complimented the effort you put into the average post, font aside. He's established what he believes is clearly legible, and I'm fairly sure you can extrapolate what that means.
Making a flood thread - meaning something that is not moderated, meaning where every ape can post their unqualified comments on and off-topic - to show off bad examples for formatting taken by other players without their consent. The OP even lists those posts. The author himself hasn't done much to qualify his own stuff as positive examples.
Initiate ambition and defense might be with the best interest, but all in all it's another toxic contribution to this community, enabling other people to take a dump on what other people do. Literally the reason why I took a break from Discovery. Now I come back and see this bullhonkey. You literally can't do anything without someone coming up to you and be like "What you do is bad". If I wanted to read that, I'd have applied for becoming a dev.

Unfortunately, I found no equal weel in English. If you ever do - poke me

Or, since it's flood, and apparently so endemic to the territory, your could just let it slide. Let it go. All you're doing is drawing more attention to yourself the further you get, because someone complained about, god forbid, your font choice.

I'm sure it is, considering I'm a raging butthurt goblin and a half. I'm perfectly willing to concede the fact I get into stupid arguments on a frequent basis, but here's the thing.
As someone who gets into stupid arguments, you also start to know how to avoid stupid arguments.

This is so nice to joke about diabetes. I wonder if someone ever understands what this like in real.

I said not just "What you do is bad", but firstly complemented

RE: How to make your font bad. - Sombs - 12-24-2019
I'm pretty sure I've clarified what kind of feedback I accept:
- in the player's respective RP Feedback Threads (they are literally made for that and only opened by people who want it)
- not in flood, since anyone can voice themselves here, qualified or not
- in a constructive way (not by being publicly painted as bad example)
You can explain it as much as you want. You can also compliment one thing and then shit on the other. It isn't called for. I don't walk up to you, tell you you look nice but your personality is garbage (compliment justifies critique, right?) and then get offended when you're not reacting positive to it.
I've also explained why I do my choice of colors - they are well visible on my screen. You're literally the first person complaining about it. It's okay to voice that. The way you did is not. Deal with that.

So you're mad, because it's not in the right format for you to accept, and so you came to a thread that you knew would be full of invalid criticism, to complain about said invalid criticism.
