Criticism of members literacy skills is commonplace on this forum

Perhaps "commonplace" is not the correct word, however I have seen this criticism made on here over the years. Forgive me if I don't produce a list of examples.
My "tirade" in the CBB thread, while attempting to be humorous, does indeed make reference  the the criticism of members literacy skills.
I acknowledge there is some mickey taking, I have done it and had it done to me but that is not what I am referring to.
I subscribe to other forums, not a lot, but  I never come across the literacy criticism that I see on here.

Well I always see the literacy problems mentioned on other forums,It really must annoy the hell out of some people If they have to bring It up, And there must be a lot of people out there with literacy problems, Myself Included, What I cant stand Is text speak.

So we have a section where posters can slag off each other, trade insults, post sexually explicit material, include links to illegal material, etc.  .....

So what you are saying is that the some of the current members of this forum in one week will slag each other off, trade insults, post sexually explicit material, links to illegal material, etc. I wonder who amongst us would jump at the chance to post all these things?

Is becoming a moderator like jury service, an email arrives telling you your time has come to serve the community?
