What is uncomfortable is that the fact whenever he posts, people 'attack' him immediately. He has an unusual style of posting, yes, but that doesn't mean he can't share his views on here like everyone else - if you don't wish to read them, don't - there's absolutely no need to pick at him or insult him.
a few full stops or commers is not a crime , its an excuse to have a go at someone

Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

You should start that sentence with a capital. Also, english with an 'E'.

No it isn't but, the proliferation of comma's you've been known to use is enough to trigger epilepsy in anyone unfortunate enough to suffer from it.  A basic level of writing is all that is being asked.

He has a horrendous style of posting and is a pompous prick to boot.

Not particularly helpful chelts. His posts maybe objectionable for a number of reasons, but leave out the abuse please.

Apologies. The eye bleeding writing style, high handed manner that he is doing us a favour by sharing such wisdom and general rude comments about others, really don't butter my crumpet I am afraid.

My user name is deeply ironic and a running commentary on the issues surrounding the loss of germinating lesser flora of Lower Baternburg.

You're quite right.

However if someone is posting on a forum, you have to assume it's because they want to communicate with others through the written medium.

A post containing a plethora of unnecessary punctuation or messing about with fonts, that result in a post being as good as illegible, to the point where people attempting to read those posts are reduced to complaining about the format instead of discussing the content has either failed in it's point to engage in discourse or achieved it's point in screaming for attention and winding people up.

Either way the poster is likely to cop an earful, be it by accident or some sort of very needy design.

If it's by accident then maybe consider what you're doing and why you're provoking those reactions.

If it's by design, please go away.

Erm... getting back to the subject matter.

The resident 'ITK' guy on TBAR has called the takeover.

It's back to a Yank, announcement at seasons end (Monday), Pearson new manager.

No doubt it will be the exact opposite of all of the above.

That seems to go against the fact that Roberto Di Matteo is favourite with every bookies now... Think something might be afoot. Maybe TBAR have this one wrong...!

Maybe the new owners just don't fancy Pearson. I suppose on the face of it, he's got a team out of the Championship, managed at the top and won impressive trophies. You can see the appeal, even if he wouldn't be my first choice.
