Because you're being a jerk. Just abide by the stylistic rules of the community and you'll be fine. When you're called out, fix it. Don't start a pissing war over something trivial. Especially because you'll never win here with that attitude.

who said anything about a war or winning anything?Is stating your opinion about something been called being a jerk these days?Have we been so caught up in being a "Stylist community" that we care so much about style that anyone against it is now "starting a pissing war", "being a jerk" or "trying to win here"?

If thats so then I am fine with my negative karma and "attitude". I really hoped this community to be above such trivial matters or at least try to look at it from a different view point. But NO, even you are too busy with your "style",you dont care to look about anyone who does not think like you. Then I am again compelled to comprehend that this is another mob, which has no right to say they are different from others. But I am going to stay here, just because I care about the content this mob develops not the "atmosphere". I am gonna be happy with a negative karma point here. Because I believe in whatever I say and whatever I feel is right. And there is not a thing you can do to shut me up to stop me saying that.

Being downvoted a couple of times is different than people oppressing you. You are not some martyr for freedom of speech.

For what it's worth, I suspect people would appreciate it if we would permit this pointless meta-meta-discussion to die.

[rick2047]

If you look at it closely my responses are replys to specific posts. I am not against being downvoted. To me it just proves that people are not buying my view, and that I am totally different. Which is good, in a way.

Also to you this may be a pointless meta-meta-discussion but I take it upon myself to reply to people who have something to say about my views.

Being different and being good are orthogonal.

Anyway, here's the thing about "relaying ideas". Nobody will be able to receive them if your message is garbled by incorrect spelling or style. Your idea might be good, but if nobody can understand it, nobody will ever know about it.

Stick to standard English and you should be fine. If you want to do something like not use words with "e" in them, that is also fine. But spelling "you" as "u" just makes you look illiterate, and ideas from illiterates are usually not well-received.

[rick2047]

Not to be negative but why the perception that someone spelling "you" as "u" is illiterate?

Also if you look at my all posts I personally use the full form and correct spellings (thanks spell checks) of words. My movement was not just limited to the use of incorrect spellings but also HN not excepting any idea other than their own. It makes it look like fashion where the real review are done by only people in Milan or New York, for the rest these reviews are just copied and translated.

OK, whatever.
