It's a good thing Nico or Pete didn't get ahold of this guy, eh?
Shavenlunatic, if you do return to read this, believe me when I say you got off lightly. You got a nudge towards using proper grammar and sentence structure in your posts, something you should have figured out before you started posting here. You chose to take that as a personnal attack, ignoring the possibility that it may have been your attitude, and not Occhi's or Shadow's, that served as a catalyst for the whole confrontation.
You've already taken a step in a better direction. Your posts already show some improvement. Don't stop! We welcome all new posters and their ideas -- we simply expect a higher standard than your standard b.net trade forum or channel.
The Lounge can be a very friendly, informative and fun place. Take some more time with your posts, maybe run them through a spell checker and spend more thought and effort on making them legible and clear, and we'll all get along fine.
I'd also suggest you go back and edit the post where you responded quite crudely to Shadow and Occhi. While most people, I'm sure, have already seen it, I personally wouldn't want such a post left with my name attached. Editting that post to a short apology -- admitting you reacted hastily (as you've already done) and move on. That would be a huge step in the right direction, and would certainly give myself, at least, some faith in you.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
