I'm wondering why you're so intent on taking away a choice that is so very similar to choosing what colour pen to write with. I haven't seen any coloured text so I'm wondering why this was brought up. I refuse to believe that you have not seen any colored text on our wiki. That is either an outright lie or you have never been here before.

But I digress, let's extend the habit of coloring one's text to also include using other CSS properties. I mean, hey, I'll start writing in a custom font, use a different font size to everyone else, use a different color for each word that I type, and throw a ton of text shadow in the mix as well. Do you not see the problem that this practice creates? We do not want to clutter our wiki with unnecessary code, and we certainly do not want to get used to seeing a mountain of differently styled text blocks on every blog, talk page, and forum post.
