He's right, though.

In the Sky News Presenters Thread however he has this to say

Please could we have some basic punctuation and spell checking on posts?

I promise it will only enhance the forum experience for everyone if we get this right.

I like that sort of "come on team, punctuate!" attitude he's got.

And, assuming he is a new member.... very perceptive!

I've just recieved my first warning from TVF for asking 'Ginofish' to use some grammar and punctuation, and also some sense. I also suggested he speak to Alexia on his sentence structure. It obviously didn't go down well.

What's wrong with my sentence structure?

Well, I've reached breaking point in the Daybreak thread.

The guy's a fucking pest and adds nothing to the board.

If TV Forum want to ban me in defence of him, bring it on.

Nothing's wrong with your sentence structure, I was hoping he might take some pointers from you on how to correctly structure his.

Apparently I was adding nothing to the thread, by helpfully telling him to invest in a dictionary, and some sense. If posts were deleted on the fact they add nothing helpful, we'd never hear from 'ginofish'.

Ah.. Thankyou very much, I'm grateful for the compliment.

A new member writes posts which appear abnormal and the people that view themselves as in the "clique" decide to pounce on them like lions onto a gazelle, they bully people because of their own problems or inadequacies and it's quite amazing to see some of this sort of member refer to people who are different as "cretins". It spoils my (and I'm sure others') enjoyment of the forums to see it descend into member bashing threads. If you are similar to the character mentioned above and wish to bitch, do so on the hate forum at least.

Just for evidence
