Semi-literate people on the Internet

Curious how you ascribe so much to me, viz., 'arbiter', cruel, passive-aggressive, etc. Who designated YOU to dish out gratuitously insipid, specious analysis?

I guess the 'mad m.d.' quote gotcha, aye? :(

Monsieur, what got the doc, was the obvious bite in your words. On this site, we are expected to treat each other with respect. We debate, sometimes robustly, even passionately, however, we do not dismiss nor demean other posters for our

own amusement. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over twenty five years. Still haven't starved to death yet. Lulz. Must know a tad about human behaviour by now. I think your behaviour and your intent are obvious to everyone, except perhaps, you. In the interest of maintaining the holiday spirit, rather than indulging in further toxic silliness, I shall place you on ignore. Happy holidays everyone!

Higher education is not the true benchmark re intelligence. Some of the peeps I met in grad school had the social skills of a spastic gerbil on steroids, and the common sense of a muffin. They could only function in the rarefied world of academia, and were very limited in their conversation once they were out of their comfort zone, ie their area of expertise.

In my 40+ years working with PE's, MBA's, phD's,. etc. I have found there are many people who are extremely intelligent... just not too smart!! :>)

Not everybody has had a good education, people who were school age during war times for instance, they should feel just as welcome, comfortable and important as anybody on these sites, the fact that a fellow member would criticise them for a lack of knowledge says a lot about the critic .....

Just what does it say about the critic? Just because I don't like to see sentences that are totally unintelligible and it frustrates me to try and read them doesn't make me any less of a person than anyone else. So please don't judge me.

Sweetie, I don't believe this was directed toward you, but another poster who has been quite vociferous in their criticism of people deemed less worthy in their estimation.
 
For instance, I saw this posted today on Yahoo. Do you even know what they're talking about?

It relies upon. do not you want timber? do not timber develop everyones sources fee? If it were me i'd probable %. up the lifeless braches that fall, and talk plausible trimming needs in an spectacular way with the friends. it is the suitable way. i'd even trim them myself, over stepping right into a strive against with friends over something small like ug, timber.
 
debodun, I, too get irritated by the lack of care people put into posting. I like using my everyday way of speaking but I also proof read everything and have to edit sometimes because the way I express myself reflects on me and how much I care about that since my words are all I have to offer. I'm amazed at how many posts don't even make sense to me, let alone the bad spelling or grammar. I figure such people probably dress and act just as sloppily in public. How am I to know? Guess I'm too old school to get it. :(
