> Do you actually know someone who can't read the text, or are you concern trolling?

The author of that website claims that they’ve seen multiple comments that complain about headaches and eyestrain. This is the first item in the FAQ, which suggests that it’s one of the most common complaints.

> There are 10 themes. do all of them make any one person's eyes bleed?

The theme selector is at the bottom of the page. It’s unlikely that a person who gets a headache/eyestrain from the design will find it in time.

So the answer is no, you don't know anyone who can't read the text.

People post all kind of things online, especially hyperbole. As one of the other FAQ questions notes a lot of people also complain about their eyes bleeding, but this has never actually happened.

When users complain about headaches and eyestrain, it’s probably better to take them seriously.
I once worked at a place where we shifted some content from a two column layout to three columns. We had users telling us it was literally giving them headaches and making them feel ill. This despite the fact that it now looked basically like the rest of our content. You absolutely cannot take all user complaints seriously.
Please rewrite your comments. I'm finding them quite offending.
Almost everything posted online is hyperbole
