Thanks for this perspective. I generally try to make it at least not distracting for most people, even though I know no 1 style will work for everyone.

Yes, I hear your point on neutral tone as well, I'm a bit dramatic at times.

I am the same with brackets. I use brackets so often-I type them then delete them (or at least reduce them to a "normal" amount) before hitting send, usually.

Maybe you should have a big switch at the top for "Stimulus mode" and "Distraction-free reader". And maybe another one that shoots fireworks.

I laughed out loud at the end. That's a good idea. https://www.understood.org/ actually has a good example of this (reduce-motion mode)

We'll look into this for sure—I'd love a confetti mode.
