Can we stop being arrogant and insulting people?Follow

Nope. It's (unfortunately) still there, but it has been rated down so many times that you can't see it unless you change you filter setting to "never filter". BTW: Necroposting is bad. Necroposting a sh*t troll thread is worse. Either try to contribute or leave.

A few constructive points on your post, rmehler; first, your post is off-topic here. This is the Tradeskills forum. I think this post would be better suited in the General forum as it makes no mention of tradeskills at all. Second, while I sympathise with your concern, understand that things tend to come in waves on the boards. Things go along swimmingly for a time and then someone kicks up the dust and people tend to get their knickers in a bunch for a while. Then, things settle back down. Third, As others have noted, work on your spelling and grammar. Correct spelling and grammar make a huge difference in getting your point across constructively. People tend to take better stock in the substance of what you are writing instead of being distracted and focusing on the content of what they read.

Why bother? It will drop down to the bottom soon enough. Also, I really think the subject does need to be brought up every so often, just to let the kiddies and leeters know that they need to think about their posts and the way they present themselves to the world. In the internet, the only way that people can perceive a poster is by the typed words. If the words are misspelled, or the syntax out of whack, or the poster never uses caps or punctuation, people see the poster as lazy, sloppy, and generally not worth answering. Perhaps this is the wrong forum for this subject. Instead of DRing the post, let's see if we can get this moved to the main forum instead.
