Reply #302: thank you for the kind remarks.

I've been around awhile. so don't believe everything you read on the board.

That is, except for what I write. which you can believe. I certify it.
To answer your question the post, misspellings and all, was done "on the spot",
as are all my posts. Sometimes that means I must correct them if the error is
severe or the sentiment is badly expressed. No one is perfect.

but you'll note i didn't correct my post.
the sentiments of my post are CORRECT. your instincts are correct.
This is the spirit of how we should accept new people into DU.
Everyone is a baby when they arrive. skinner lets them in, and that's it.
from there on they are presumed innocent (even if they aren't).

OTOH, when a poster makes a cretin out of themselves with a post, then
that's different. then they get a rep and they are no longer "innocent"

take for instance a clueless cretin of less than 300 posts who posts that
my post is a troll and that I am a POS. clearly such a person is a lunatic,
but more, such posters violate forum rule number 3 when they do that, and are
destined to face a complaint, not to mention that their own time here may
prove limited.

such is the way of the world. innocent until proven stupid.
thanks for the kind remarks.
