No. It's neither necessary or intelligent. If they have nothing useful to add to a discussion, that is specifically dealt with in the guidelines and myLot get to know about it from me!

There are only one or two users that I have noticed that behave that way, and that is usually in discussions regarding religion. It is unfortunate, and I do not agree with it. The whole point of debate and discussion is to share views. Of course some of those views will differ from your own. There is no reason to resort to insults or rudeness.

Nope not necessary or intelligent, but you know what some people are like, it might be that it's the most intelligent thing they could think of.

No, there's no need for it at all. I don't personally see any reason why someone who's first language is English shouldn't be able to spell properly but if it's their second language or if they have some problem like dyslexia or something, we're not going to know from this so it's rude to assume that people's answers aren't worth as muc as the rest just because they don't spell properly. I think some people, who really aren't intelligent, might go on about spelling because they can't think of a proper answer. One thing I have seen which was quite funny though was one person saying how bad they thought it was when people's spelling was bad and she had misspelt half the words in her post!

It just shows how ignorant those people are. I don't believe it is right to swear at others - you are entitled to your opinion and that is why we are all here, right? myLot should institute spell check - that would help us all out.

No it is not necessary at all I don't know why People take things personally as such but if they do why make rude comments why not just ignore it I would

mylot laws cautioned us about all this

There is no place for rude and insensitive people. I always try to treat people with respect and expect others to do the same. I know it doesn't always happen that way. I speak and spell good english, its my language, sometimes I mess up on a word or do a typo, it happens to all of us. As for making fun of others, if you read mylot guidelines they say, there are many people from all over, that their main language is not english and that we should be tolerant of them, I agree. How many of us speak, spell or write another language, I don't.

I think it's terrible that people swear and make the rude comments on questions. You see it far too often and it's just not necessary. What's with that??? Some of the ones that have made the remarks about a question being 'bad' have some of the strangest discussions that they themselves have put up! I like to tell myself that they're probably just having a bad day and give them the benefit of the doubt. If I see the same person doing it too often and they're on my friends list, I just delete them. Same thing with people who make rude remarks to people who are just learning English...give them a break already!! English is a hard enough language for lots of people to learn, we should be happy that they've chosen to learn it at all and encourage them...not put them down for misspelled words and lack of punctuation or something. In some languages the sentence structure is totally different than ours, it's only with patience and learning that they learn how sentences in English are structured and learn to make the changes. I think everybody should be treated respectfully, we are supposed to be a community, and we are here for the purpose of discussions...what a better place to practice their new English language skills, imho!

No, I think it's rude, they shouldn't be allowed to swear anyway. The trouble with people like that is, they think it's clever and funny to be rude and mean etc, because they're too dim to think otherwise.

No it's necessary. In fact i think many of us here dont have their first language English. Many people here have bad grammer n bad spellings but i think one should correct them instead of swearing.

No it is not necessary at all I have had some rude comments my way but I just ignore them they are not worth it but there will be people on here that will get upset about it and they will back of as they think they are doing wrong so I hope it stops as it is not nice at all
