. Be careful, or you could potentially chase off the person who has the question that is key to sparking your interest in your new idea, or new favorite character variant.

An incoherent question is hard to answer, and it is often not worth answering. Lack of clarity in the question makes for a cloudy answer. It does no service to those simply reading the exchange, "it" being the lack of clarity.

Imo, a good number of people on these forums are becoming painfully anal about grammar/punctuation

Not "becoming," "have been," for about 4 years. :) However, I'd suggest that MEAT did take it a step further than most in the excruciating breakdown.

"Good enough" for everywhere else in not good enough here. That is the standard, and unless standards are upheld, they fall.

I think that you and I agree that writing style and tone will influence how a critique is received. If your complaint is solely about tone, then yes, that is well understood.
