Niki started it, then Rap tried it, then stopped, and then I tried it, and really, it makes life easier and more readable. You always know where your words are. And when someone is quoting you.

I will feign ignorance because I'm lazy.

Also because I dislike having identifying features on my posts like avatars or signatures.

I actually find bright colors on the black background incredibly difficult to read. If I want to read a super bright color, I have to highlight it, which is only moderately easier.
If I were to use a different color, I would chose something subtle and brownish. However, unless I'm trying to emphasize something, changing font color probably isn't something I'd go to the trouble of doing all the time. Maybe for my signature, but not generally.

You should totally use black. Then everyone will have to highlight your posts to see what you said. I'm pretty sure that's how spoilers here work; they just code for black font.

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.
