 I will never implement structured talk pages, and will oppose all calls to introduce it.
 ====Structured talk pages look horrible====
-It makes talk pages look terrible to read and hard to follow, and gives everything a horrible {{grey|grey colour}}. It '''removes''' the artistic flair editors put in to designing their lovely signatures, and all the colour that comes along with it. It removes all of the wonderful formatting options we have access to when writing messages to each other. It destroys the soul of the wiki. Nearly all different language Wikipedia projects have refused to fully implement this feature, for these reasons.

 ====Making the wiki future-proof====
 It is clear the Wikimedia Foundation and MediaWiki developers are working on a way to make talk pages more accessible through the current infrastructure of a normal page, as opposed to a complete rewrite of how talk pages work.
