Really clever and informative. That said the grammatical errors on NSC postings don't worry me at all. But I get seriously Pizzed off with guys that put more effort into ridiculing incorrect grammar posters than they do making any meaningful comments.
In fact it's bloody rude. We all have some standard of education some better than others. Give the less educated a break they may well be more talented in other arenas. I personally would think it a shame that good and genuine BHA fans avoided posting on here because the elite make fun of them. ???

I was going to post this, but wasn't entirely comfortable with one of the lines.

I'd hardly call people who correctly use 'your' and 'you're' as 'the elite'. It is basic English, and if somebody can't get that right then I don't see why anyone would listen to their opinion.

Totally agree. There's absolutely no need to make them an escaped goat.

Sorry but if someone wants me to go to the effort of reading their insightful comments they should accept that a forum is a written medium and put their own effort in to make their point in a clear and cogent fashion. Decent (not necessarily perfect) grammar is a big part of that.

I believe only stupid people coin the phrase 'grammar police'.

What other explanation is there for a poster to contribute to a thread,only to comment and adjust a post and state,corrected...?

I fully expect a visit from an authority figure imminently with regards to my post..

I'm guilty of reporting everyone that uses that word, but I personally give the song artistic license. As the Black Eyed Peas would say 'In this context, there's no disrespect, so when I bust my rhyme, you break ya necks'.
