No, dont put words in my mouth. Ive only ever agreed to the tendency of bad slang writing and speaking (notice: no grammar mentioned here). I even mentioned examples (the z vs s, the wOOt word etc.) but still YOU twist it to force an opinion on me. Actually I've several times pointed out that I didnt think the original post was that badly written, but I guess you pull out the "it was edited" argument again then.

Oh it did. And Im sure now that you and the word friendly certainly isnt a great match on these boards. Btw allow me to quote you from the original thread. You said somewhere: "And if you have to resort to insults, I suggest you don't post at all." - by your own logic you should rethink your posts before writing them, especially if they contain direct or indirect insults.

Oh that isnt real arguments? I think majority would agree that they was. I argue that people like polite people, not impolite. And that laziness doesnt equal rude. And the discussion quickly converted into your sentences because of your stubborn not-logical claims and actions.
"Your posts are getting ridiculous" - I take that as a compliment. It indicates to me that my points has some serious impact on you. If you havent noticed, this is a completely normal and well-written debate about ethical issues where people are of different opinions. Going as low as saying the opponents posts are getting ridiculous, says more about the one saying it than the one it was meant for.

That's debatable. Edited or not, I think the original post looks fine and is quite legible.

Its totally different when one sticks up for a person who was put through the forumcop teaching machine. Forum cops arent by definition against a whole post, but they're against spelling/grammar flaws. Unless of course you try to twist the definition to suit your own arguments.

No, that only happened in your own head. I suspect you of writing stuff like this to confuse your "opponent", hoping he/she will think your right and back down. My arguments are just as good and valid as your own. They just dont fit into your thoughts, so you automatically put them down.

Maybe. Maybe not. I also want everyone in the world to stop doing crime, but Im pretty sure that wont happen. I have to be careful about my next comment now, because you'll probably try to twist it and force an opinion on me yet again. But...I think that the language is being "raped" more often these days and I fear it will continue in the future. I dont blame lazy writers tho, but rather the media, the movies, the rap/hiphop and other spoiled music artists etc.etc.
