It shows a complete lack of respect and decency.
I'm putting you on ignore. You obviously aren't interested in making the effort for those without English as their native language, so I aren't interested in anything you have to say. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Oh, no, not ignore!!
I'm off for a cry.
And iajafer, i did take on board what Nobby said, as you can see from my posts since, they are all properly punctuated with capital letters. the issue i had is the way he went about saying it, which smacked of over reaction, and to be honest down right rudeness. The issue is simply that i'm so used to typing using microsoft word, where the punctuation is automatically corrected. Coupled with the fact that at the time of the original post i was a bit drunk, it didnt have and capital letters.
Although i dont post often on this site, i do lurk a lot and read it. Nobbys posts a lot of the time about people are over the top and rude, this isnt a one off case. I appreciated he has been on the site a long time, and has a stack of posts, but that doesn't, or indeed shouldn't, excuse the nature of his posts.
Does he lay into people whose first language isnt English in the same manner? If someone who hasnt got English as a first language spells a few things wrong Does Nobby going flying in all guns blazing to rip the poster to shreads after their first post?
I would ask him myself, but i'm on ignore!!
Surely the LLM forum should be trying to encourage new members to post, to convert them to the virtues of LLM, so that more people can come on and tell their tales, have a whinge, or a thinly veiled brag about a near promotion.
If Nobby keeps insulting people the way he does, new members are going to be intimidated about posting, many wont post because of it, and the forum will not get many new members who actively post.
