I think, with code highlighting, you really need to evaluate what is being highlighted. Then you will suddenly notice that it doesn't really make sense to highlight everything.
For example Java keywords highlighting is not necessary - you can live with having them bold. Highlighting every code symbol (function, variable) also kinda misses the point. However knowing which variables are static and which are constants - is actually useful.
I don't think a developer should code without highlighting - that's a bad idea. But you should evaluate what highlighting you really need.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
