But your the only one in this thread whose remarks are even close to "trying to police the forum". He asked a yes/no question and the answer was almost universally "no". The fact that the responses were in the negative does not make the responses themselves negative, if you get my meaning. Regardless of how little he posts I would hardly continue to call someone who has been on the boards for 3 years "new". Heck, I've only been around half a year longer. Did a few of the responses contain some snark? Sure. Were any of them rude, elitist a-hole comments sure to chase someone off? Hardy.

I think if the post count is under 10, then yes, they get a blanket pass to find a welcoming community looking for new blood. We can work on their posting skills later (because that's our job to police the forums*) As far as child or non-native speaker, it's not sad, it's irrelevant.

It's sad, because of the implicit assumption that our educational system has sunk so low. Which it probably has.

(but I am done here, nobody likes to be browbeaten, nor do I like to browbeat. All my OP was meant to do was to get you to stop and think, not rap your knuckles with a ruler. Once again, this is posted in all due respect to this community.)

Then don't rap our knuckles with a ruler. (Actually, I don't think I entered the thread until after you, so I'm not in that particular "we" anyway.) Nobody was doing anything infraction worthy, here. If the OP posts in an abrasive manner, he's going to get a little bit of that back from a few people. It's inevitable. The response was pretty mild, IMO.

I don't see the point in coddling poor communication skills or an abrasive attitude. At the same time, nobody really went all out on him, either, AND he got several very salient answers to his questions in both threads.
