Now I'm no fan of grammar police but c'mon mate, have you been drinking or something?

Maybe you didn't bother to read the rest of the post. And threats? All I said is I could start writing stuff out in a 'txt' format, which would be far more annoying for you. Back when I first joined the CPC forums, I used the 'txt' speak to ask a question about my PC, all I got in response was "Buy a keyboard" jokes, so I changed it, and started to write out to the best I could.
But what ever really, so what I put one where I shouldn't. Did you not understand the thread? But yeah, whatever.
And in response to adidan:
No I haven't, what I can't stand is people making jokes about my spelling and grammar, I improved it, and they still complain.

If you are the kind of person who doesn't like having jokes made at your expense then I'm sorry but online forums are not the place to hang out.
A joke is a joke.
There is no point complaining about them because they will always happen.
Grammar and spelling is something that has been brought up on these forums more times than I can remember. If people ACTUALLY believed that you looked stupid because you put an apostrophe in bras then they probably wouldn't have posted it.
The fact that she did post that means that she was joking and would have thought you would see that fact.
That's how I read it anyway.

Saying "you can stick your opinions somewhere" and then following it up with "I could make it a lot worse for you" in my opinion came across as a threat. There was no reference to the fact that you meant you could start writing in txtspk and so your spelling and grammar would be a lot worse.

Me telling you (as a collective) where to stick them, was not meant to be/or part of a threat of any kind. It was asking me to keep them to yourselves.
And I wouldn't have had any problem the joke if it wasn't for it being the second time people taking the mic out of it. That's what really annoyed me. I wish I could use perfect spelling, grammar and what not all the time, but the fact is I can't, yes, I try, but it's not the easiest for me. It just pisses me off.

Guys, chill.
You're both obviously in need of a motorboat session with a busty young girl. Any forumites that match this description?

Fair enough. I apologise if I offended you. Let's leave it there. I don't want to start fights over anything as trivial as a misplaced apostrophe, so I'm sorry if you took it that way. Now, I am busty, but no longer young...

It's ok, I guess work and my failure of a PC just got the better of me, just needed to vent. And as for the motorboat? What sort? Are we talking your bog standard quick jiggle, or the full blown 80knots?

you are in your 40's therefore you are young (and previously stated extremely educated/talented etc)

Who are you trying to butter up, young man? MBM: I know what you mean when tech throws a spanner in your day. Hope it all gets sorted out.

*looks out from under corner of tablecloth* Is it safe to come out yet? Sorry mars-bar-man I did not mean to cause you any grief. It was only meant as a cheeky comment. *looks all chastened*

I know that one. Better to vent on here than to trash your gear. Biscuit anyone?
