Are we that perfect?

OK- rant time
We've had a few posts from a 15 year old asking for advise, and what do the majority of people do? Take the pi$$ and make snide comments regarding her grammar and spelling!
This is what B&S has become? A 'Rip em apart unless we know and approve of them' Section?
Yes there's a very slim chance that it might be someone attempting to take the mickey out of us with an alias. However I'd rather look a twonk and try to help them than take the pi$$ out of a vulnerable kid.
What about if this kid has no one else she can talk this freely to about her problems? Can we say we've helped her??

larkin has posted about "serious suspicions as to what is legitimate"
Oh dear ffs !! Suspicious ? Legitimate ? Who has any right to sit and make such value judgements !!
All we have on here are sequences of words. There are no nuances of facial expression, no ways to inject winks or warmth.
Much better to pick up on those posts from the 'regulars' which are genuinely and deliberately offensive and pompously arrogant (and sometimes horribly misspelt lol xx). Provided I end all my posts with take care then I can say anything I like, or so it seems. And it's also ok to be vile provided you come back on later and say it was only tongue-in-cheek, or a bit of fun.

Yay Boo!
I agree with you, I'd rather take the post as genuine until proven otherwise. Some posts are very obviously wind ups and I would respond to as such but I never comment on spelling or grammar, we're not all perfect and sadly in this day and age there are people who can not read and write - they deserve to be helped not mocked.

Oh, I can see we've strayed off topic a little...
But although I completely disagree with the bullying.... and yes, it IS bullying.
The thing is, it's the way you appear on here, if, for example, you use text language like "u, bcos, c, etc" I can see why some people may get a little offended.... and i just see it unfair that people (regardless of gender and age) pick on weaker ones. The gerenal idea of this website is that you ask others "FOR HELP!!!"
I constantly get picked on for perfectly normal gammar accidents like using "your" Instead of "You're" How petty do you have to be? SERIOUSLY! If you understood it then thats all that matters. But.... that's just my opinion....
Oh and *waves* Hi Daddy Ray! xx
