I think you maybe right. That could have been taken two ways though.
By the way, I can point out that "redicule" is actually spelled ridicule to you without going all postal. I've always been even handed in my criticisms, until people say something stupid like hate speech or intollerant raving or whining about something as insignificant as the everyday troubles we all go through.
And for the most part, when I saw the old guard (those long-term members who either got banned or left in disgust) flame someone, it wasn't for the occasional spelling error we all make. It was for either the kind of stupidity I just outlined or for egregious errors like run-on sentences and massive amounts of missing punctuation and l33t speak.
Now if you have a problem with the level of flaming and criticism that has commenced since the forums here were largely taken over by trolls and newbies, then I have only 2 thoughts for you:
1) "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves ..." - by William Shakespear, from "Julius Caeser"
2) "We have met the enemy, and he is us!" - by Walt Kelly, from "Pogo"

I don't go ballistic if someone corrects my grammar, you could have asked Xng if she was still here she was practically my spell check.
And thank you for sharing the wonderful quotes.
Look Ben I don't dislike you (in fact i think you have sharp wit and a good sense of humor) nor do I really dislike anyone on these boards.
Look i was stating my opinion as you were stating yours.
So flame and bicker away everyone, make yourself feel better by putting people down because they aren't quite as educated as you.
Have at it, as long as YOU feel better thats all that matters!
