Why are so many people commenting about not getting many responses, anyway? The only thing the original poster commented about was having his spelling corrected.

And while leaving a message board because you got your spelling corrected is sorta lame, correcting people's spelling is at least just as lame. I guess a lot of people had broken dreams of being english teachers, or something.

And anyway, what does being published (or not) have to do with anything in this thread?

...or they're sick of trying to decipher the total crap that gets spewed by the dummies who couldn't be bothered to attend English class.

I'm a published game writer

What've you written? And for which system?

Its unfortunate, Kaos. ENWorld really is one of the friendliest places around because, well, you don't have the option of being unfriendly, really. Whereas I hardly approve of people running around correcting spelling and grammar, I never really paid much attention to those 'helpful' people anyway.

You know what, and I hope this doesn't sound like sour grapes

Sour. And Grapey.

Hey! What about those of us who are English teachers?

...or they're sick of trying to decipher the total crap that gets spewed by the dummies who couldn't be bothered to attend English class.

Sick? Why should we be sick? I'm just an Indian teaching Greek drama translated by a Frenchman to American students who apparently weren't taught any English. What do I care about language?

Psst. KaosDevice. Whatever you do man, don't type the word 'rouge'.... you'll never make it out alive

While I have never had anyone correct my spelling, I do see where Kaos is coming from, these boards while the best place to discuss gaming does have posters with a negative attitude at times.

My recommendation Kaos, is don't let it get to you. The internet has a horrible ability to make even the most polite post look like a personal dig. If you do feel that someone has made you feel uncomfortable, drop them a PM to discuss it politely.

I have to say that I have been a lurker, sometimes poster, on these boards for some time. Part of the reason for my hesitation in contributing was that the regular posters on these boards were, and are, much more knowledgeable about the game than yours truly. The other reason I heitated to post was my experience on other boards. EN World is Shangri-la compared to the other boards I have visited, and IMHO the best board around.

I still mostly lurk, unless I feel I have something worth contributing to a topic. I don't take any of the stinging responses that I receive personally, because I don't think they are meant in that spirit.

Kaos, if you want to go then I wish you well, but I don't think you will find a better environment than this for discussing the games we love.

Um...guys, I don't think He's reading this.
