I'm somewhat surprised at the tone of your response.

I re-read my node and am not really sure what you mean; I highlighted what I felt to be an important point in bold. The comment about complaining users was meant to be tounge-in-cheek, I've added a smiley to hopefully clarify.

I made no suggestion. I merely stated an alternative proposal that I would support.

I don't really see the difference between the two terms "suggestion" and "alternative proposal". But anyway:

I did write: 'I see my preferred "dark theme".'; so I'm one of those users.

I'm still not sure if we're talking about the same thing here. PerlMonks has a theme selection in the Display Settings, but that's not the preference I'm talking about, because it requires both a login and a page reload when changing the setting. Instead, in the Windows color settings, in the Firefox theme preferences, in the Android display settings, and I assume in other places in Linux and iOS, there is a system-wide dark mode setting that requests from all apps, and all sites in the browser, to display a dark mode theme if they are capable of displaying it.

If you have this setting turned off, then my suggestion does not affect you at all.

If you have this setting turned on, then sorry, but your points in your node above still don't make sense to me as to why PerlMonks should intentionally ignore the "system-wide dark mode setting" (assuming it is capable of supporting it).
