A lot of arguments end up with one poster saying something like "It's just a game, get a life!" I think that your comment, Orpheus, is very similar. You imply that since it's "just" a forum post, it inherently has very little value.
If a forum post isn't important enough for you to take the time to proofread it, how can you expect us to take the time to read it? If you are so pressed for time that you can't organize your thoughts into a form that others would understand, I guess I just don't understand how you find the time to visit this forum at all.
Perhaps this forum has different standards than others you frequent. Nobody is expecting you to be perfect in spelling and grammar. But, I believe that people are asking you to try your best. If a topic isn't worth the time and effort it would take you to write clearly, maybe that's a sign that you don't need to post. I think that I actually delete more posts than I write, because at some point I reconsider whether I have anything to say that would add value to the thread. If I don't think it will, the back button is just a click away. :)
I don't think that this thread has any constructive discussion left in it. Bolty has already requested that the argument stop, and he's also come close to invoking Godwin's Law.
This discussion is over. You lose. :lol:
