Jackie,

He is not getting slammed for writing in lower-case, he is getting slammed
for his attitude in general. Look at his response to the suggestion that he
write properly. That is a completely childish response and shows his overall
poor attitude and disrespect for the newsgroups.

Note also his mention that he is doing this "from work and...will get in
serious trouble if found out." Even more evidence of his total lack of
respect for others. His employer is not paying him to play on the Internet.

Hi Pete

I'd like to add my thoughts also. Jon is right - you are being treated a
bit
shoddily. I can't believe you are getting so much stick from writing in
lowercase - and I say that as a professional, published writer. This isn't
a
creative writing forum for heaven's sake!

And I know how you feel: I've been posting questions for a couple of years
in this forum and I've always been extremely grateful for the help and
support I've received. I don't doubt others who say Malke is respected for
her knowledge but Malke is the ONLY person who has been unnecessarily rude
to
me. That's not bad going in three years. Usually the responses are
considered
and courteous. Don't be deterred. Keep posting, I say...

Many thanks
JD

dear people

i have been posting for a while now and people have thanked me for my
help, but i have now been told to stay away and that i do more harm
than
good, i feel this is unjust to say the least, i thought it was a good
thing
to try and help people and i dont think that i have put anybodys pc at
risk,
as you will see below i have been slated for helping people, please let
me
know your feelings on this..

as posted by Malke

"But you *aren't* helping anyone. You don't quote properly and you give
ridiculous answers that at best are useless and at worst could cause
some real damage to the OP. If you were really a "nice guy" you'd
change your ways or find another venue in which to "help" people."

Actually, it looks like you did get a rough deal in that particular
thread.

Having said that, you should have been aware that using a web interface
is a
pet topic for many on here, and not taken it personally. As Lanwench
said, a
thick skin is a prerequisite for this place.

As others have said, Malke is one of the best posters on here, usually
combining expertise with a very human approach. In that particular
instance,
however, I think she did overreact. No-one is perfect.
