I need to simplify things. Cut things down a bit. This community is unfortunately one of those things. Sorry, but I can't say that I have gotten out of it nearly what I put into it, but that happens, ya know. So, in about a week, I am either cancelling my account or just making it private again. I will probably just cancel, but I don't really know.

Not perfectly clearly written, I should clarify, clearly enough written for me to understand. I defended it exactly as I had the first time I ever saw one of dr_H's posts attacked. I'd defended it for the simple fact that I'd been an English tutor for a year in college, and feel that someone's writing style or various issues does not necessarily hamper what they are trying to say if you can jump through the writing well enough, mentally. Being an English tutor made me respect that not everyone speaks the same way, verbally or on paper or in text. Whether it's correct English or not is not my concern... for in English, unlike in Mathematics, as I see you list your occupation, there are more flexible rules. Also, I've never seen how pointing out that someone speaks differently helps them or helps oneself, either. So it's just like it was with dr_H, having nothing to do with personally feelings towards anyone specifically, but rather a general rule of thumb I'd use towards all people equally.
