Tim Hooper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This type of thread inevitably rears its all-too-ugly head on fora all over the web on a regular basis. More's the pity..... Not everyone has a textbook grasp of the written language. I know a lot of very clever people who find it hard to express themselves adequately in text - they find it intimidating and clumsy. Having served as a moderator on more than one forum in my time, I can state that the net result of any thread such as this one is to alienate some members and to drive them away as a consequence. No one member has the right to expect anybody else to conform to their own chosen standards, and anyone who is irritated by another's standard of text only has the right to either get over themselves and ignore errors or to look elsewhere. tim Edited By Tim Hooper on 31/07/2012 21:39:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Symons Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Posted by FunnyFlyer on 31/07/2012 12:04:36: Counted a 97 word single paragraph post with no capital letters, full stops or apostrophes yesterday. Madness! I agree complete madness!! Madness that anyone would take the time to count the number of "un-punctuated" words in a paragraph!!

kevin b Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Rock on Tim ! Let's get back to the airplanes (whoops). Anybody know where I can get a 10 metre buddy lead from ? I would like to learn to fly properly, but can't see the takeoffs properly having to stand downwind of the instructor. Kevin b Continental cuisine appreciation department.

WolstonFlyer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ok, I think FunnyFlyer gets the message and we all think it was a daft thread to start. How about calling it a day before any comments get too personal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyFlyer Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Okay, so now I'm being ganged up on. ;-(I'm not a teacher or a civil servant. I can also put your minds at rest and confirm I do have a life, but thanks for you concern.Now and again folks, try and hold down the shift key when you type a letter after the dotty thing you ended a sentence with. If you can co-ordinate aileron and elevator in a turn, you can manage this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Randall Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 No FunnyFlyer, you are not being ganged up on, you have just irritated a lot of people who come to this forum for pleasure in the persuance of their hobby. The forums defining feature is (generaly) model aircraft and does not have rules on education, religion, colour, or anything else except bad language.
