The amount of crap is small, and when we go to town on someone it's usually justified. I think there is a bit of a disconnect here. If I am in a group of friends in real life and I say or do something that could be considered retarded, they will be merciless. Certainly much worse than people receive here. And we're all friends. There's an understanding that it's just ribbing someone for saying/doing something stupid. Online people seem to interperet everything as dead serious, and that's usually wrong. It's like I've told my GF- if there's two ways you can interpret something, and one of them pisses you off, interpret it the other way.

But, for the love of God, type so we can understand you. It doesn't have to be MLA standards, but a forum is a place where we communicate using words and sentences. Make it easy on us.
