hmm seems more like lets support those who are good at English and bulley those who are bad at it.
Duff,
I don't think that's what was meant at all and it's certainly not my opinion. Though I do think posters have the responsibility to try and make their posts readable. That's not meaning all rules of grammar and correct spelling must be used, just that people wanting support should think about if their post communicates to people what they want it to.

It's kind of like if someone joins this website but English isn't their first language, no one is going to deny them support for that, but if they posted in Japanese it'd be utterly pointless as no one could understand it. If they used English to the best of their ability and used the odd Japanese word when they didn't know the English one, then I am sure people would be more than willing to try and understand and support them.
