There are certainly individuals that are showing themselves to be "really classy".
Thank goodness we don't have that problem on FR.
I don't see it as fair to judge a whole group of people based on the statements of individuals.
Especially if we ignore others that are attempting to have a dialog.
I hope that posters aren't denigrated based on unpolished communication skills.
It doesn't invalidate their points and smacks of elitism.
Well, I have to admit that I am not impressed with posters who appear to make no attempt to write, spell or punctuate well.
This is a political forum, not an uneducated teenage one. To be taken seriously here, some attempt will have to be made to use passable English, you know that. If there were no standards here, the conversation would soon sound like DU. It would reflect on our own intelligence to ~not~ comment on it.
I didn't just read one poster or one thread over at that forum, I browsed it for a few hours last week. Perhaps they are not all dog fighters, but they know some... they do not shun it, they think it's perfectly legitimate, and they all talk in vague code but it doesn't take long to figure it out. I really don't think I'm wrong on this.
