The substance of the post is more important than than its prettiness. Forums are about communication, rather than the assertion of arrogance.

The posters should also consider that this is an international forum, so some users are not using their first language here.....legibility is paramount for easy understanding.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI question those that take pride in correcting obvious typoes. i.e. Bowmann. I am not endorsing "text" type, nor am I endorsing lazy fingers, but some of the corrections here are purely for self-promotion and satisfation of personal ego. What has happened to humility on a server such as this that is frequented by people from all over the globe?
I'm sorry, but when the substance is voluntarily taken out by the post creator, then it becomes trash. Assertion of arrogance and requesting legible writing is hardly the same thing....unless i missed something ?
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundExactly. Does A O'C never look at the mantelpiece whilst poking the fire? I've noticed on these fora that æsthetic style and cogent substance tend to come together.

Originally posted by AngelOfChessI see your point buddy. I don't like that kind of extreme grammar nazism either, bowman isn't all bad though.

I am disgusted that you allow him to dominate you in such a way. I am female and I cringe at Mokko's replies to Bowmann, she is like a child in need of a father. I am younger than Mokko yet her interactions with Bowmann make me ill. I can't understand why this has not been said before. Are you all so dreadfully naive?

Exactly. Does A O'C never look at the mantelpiece whilst poking the fire? I've noticed on these fora that æsthetic style and cogent substance tend to come together.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI am sure they communicate in the same manner "offsite" as they do here and to be honest with you it is a disgrace to chess and a disgrace to women in general. I would revel in a chess site where women were considered as equal to men and not as a piece of eye-candy. You really should be ashamed of yourself, Huck.

Am I being paranoid, or does it not seem that someone that has such strong opinions of other members here already, must be either another member here already or just plain F***ed in the head. I smell a dirty rat here,
