You're wrong there.
Also, kinda inadvertently proved the parent's point: that people rush out of the woodwork to cow everyone else into silence.

So why are you trying to enforce your standards on someone else?

I’m not enforcing anything on anyone, I’m saying keep your nose out of other peoples grammar. You people give me a migraine daily, Jesus H Christ. I’m done here, you folks are insane.
- lelanthran 3y ago> You people give me a migraine daily, Does this not indicate, to you, that you're holding a significant minority opinion? While neither significant minority or significant majority opinions are automatically wrong/right, if you're reacting this strongly to everyone around you, the only common factor is you. IOW, when I find that I am at odds with everyone around me, I re-examine whether or not the problem is me: did I incorrectly read the room? For example, sarcastic comments on reddit r/programming garners no real attention from the readers, while the same comment on HN gets downvoted. What I am trying to say is, read the room. BTW: you are reacting pretty emotionally to my posts, which are all (as far as I can tell, anyway) devoid of any emotion or personal remarks. GP's original complaint was also, as far as I can tell, devoid of any anger or other emotion. Your reaction was, to me, very angry with no real reason why this was so.
