I was actually picking at your inability to use capital letters and full stops. Please make an effort in the future before my coffee wears off.

Actually, it does matter. Learn to type properly.

Learn to write properly, or you'll be hit with warnings. I don't care what stance other websites take on internet shorthand, but here it's not allowed. Deal with it

Clearly you don't know Michael at all...

I do, and I yell at them, and so does everyone else. This is not a kiddie board for 10 year olds, we expect you at least try to be readable. You can either make the effort, or be removed, and you'd be suprised how far a little effort can go.

If I want to stay on Railpage Australia™ it might be in my best interests to stay on his good side.

Well it is in the rules to use capitals. And if you break the rules, maybe Michael will show you this really cool door.

Because this isn't 4chan? (lol)
| dano wrote: | | anyway back to topic, we should be talking about the party which is a happy thing |
The party of which I do hope you won't be attending.
Hopefully you won't post in this thread again, then we can get back on topic.

He would be peeved, as spelling and punctuation part of this forums ettiqute. There is a Spellcheck button for a reason.

Not quite. You were telling a site admin that you consider yourself above the rules of the site. I'm surprised you're still here.
More generally, I think it would be fair to say the common consensus here is that the thought put into a post is valued far more highly than the speed in which it is typed. Thought is demonstrated in the amount of research that has been used (which is normally readily apparent) and in a posters consideration to the reader in making their comments easily readable.
We're not going to get fired up about the occasional typo, but you are making no effort whatsoever - I suspect, in fact, that you are deliberately using poor spelling and grammer to irritate others. It won't take long to get a "troll" tag with acts like that (or telling admin that site rules don't apply to you). Trolls don't tend to last long. Join the dots yourself.

Capitals, Full stops and other punctuation are not rules for the sake of rules - they are a courtesy to enable a reader to make sense of the written word more easily. The nano-seconds you save by disregarding punctuation translate into a signficant time cost to the people reading, people don't read it, or they don't have a clue what you are saying.
