I'm going to agree with this thought blossom, but with a caveat...

If a certain someone is going out of his way to prove his point is the only valid one, and he uses his supposed credentials of being a "master of this" and "certified at that" with a sprinkling of "I'm published", he deserves to be called out if he cannot form complete sentences.

I typically just ignore pontification (like the random sub-conscious ramblings you often provide ;)) for the very reasons you have outlined above. However... I will not ignore a package of pontification, gift wrapped in the obvious ignorance of a poster's native language and grammar usage, if a bow of condescension is placed upon the package.

<soapbox> Preaching at us about being published while using a bastardization of basic English is just not going to fly. At least not with me. </soapbox>

All the enjoyment of a regular boy, half the calories.

nos: that's still an ego trip. So what if they do? No reason to get in a hoot'n'anny about it. Same with my own stuff. People assume I'm making some great declaration or whatever. Even if I am, so what? That is affects them so to feel they need to 'step up to the mat' or 'set things right' or 'expose something for what it is' is just a sign that something inside them is threatened.

Buddabing: that's not the important part, nor the peak point of the article. If you read the whole thing, you might practice your reading comprehension.
