Look up the word 'norm' in a real dictionary.
*pause while you look up the word*
Now that you might comprehend what I am about to say . . .
One of the informal norms of this forum, one that was somewhat formalized by Elric's guides being officially sponsored, is that all posters will adhere to generally correct and coherent written presentation of the thoughts they share here with other members.
If you do not support that accepted group norm, then you don't belong in this group, nor do others who do not feel bound by the group's norms.
It really is that simple.
Your puerile little jibe of 'If ya don't like, don't read' implies that members here should condone substandard behaviour by a member of the group: sort of like a group of Boy Scouts condoning one of their troop flashing the local Brownie troop. We Lurkers don't care to have sub-standard anything in this little corner of cyber space. It borders on rudeness for folks to demonstrate how little they care about the rest of the group -- the readers, the audience -- by their blatant lack of care in crafting their posts.
If you don't like that, friend Luna, then you know where the door is. I am not lowering my standards just because yours are on the floor.
EDIT: atrocious spelling and rhythm. (Note to self: 'Preview Post' is your friend.)

Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the Men 'O War!
In War, the outcome is never final. --Carl von Clausewitz--
Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum
John 11:35 - consider why.
