Someone makes a small grammatical error and you call them an idiot. What are you going to do when a person uses quotation marks wrong? Shoot them? Come on. Can we concentrate on important matters and stop with the mudslinging.

“Someone makes a small grammatical error and you call them an idiot.”


Please reread the post. Arthur called *himself* an idiot for his typo, so he did not engage in mudslinging. (His only mistake was replying to your post again instead of replying to his own post.) You, on the other hand, accused him of lack of civility because you thought the worst of him instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt and rereading what he wrote.

The lesson to all of us is to read things calmly, and if it sounds offensive reread it to make sure that we didn’t miss something (such as sarcasm, or self-criticism).
