Me calling colored text gay was in reference to the current thread about Clay Aiken coming out. I guess you either got it or you didn't. No need to tell anyone to laugh.
I understood your use of gay and got the joke. I just figured for the sarcasm challenged coloured text serves a useful purpose. Personally, it doesn't really matter if sarcastic text is coloured or not. Not really a big deal one way or the other.
