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.

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.

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.
