I didn't know that a constructive suggestion post was whining, and I don't know how it affected what is going on in our society now. My suggestion had a positive tone. Did yours?
Amazing.
Yup. Seriously.
Consider many of our posters are getting quite elderly (eyesight issues, etc), and/or come from a very blue collar background (don't/didn't earn their living typing) , had zero typing in school, grammar wasn't their strong suit, or even dealing with a learning disadvantage (such as dyslexia?)... whatever the case... and so they're dealing with the digital world as best they can and just trying to enjoy and share their hobby with other like-minded people.
I'm fine with that and would rather they post and share, and enjoy the hobby with me in their own way in their way of typing.
I for sure will do that instead of getting on here and shaming them/upbraid/whine/instruct (who asked you for grammar instructions anyway?)... whatever you want to call it... about their grammar/literary mannerisms when using the typed medium.
I'm here to enjoy the trains and the fellowship and if someone types differently than I do... I can deal with it. Besides, many are trying to find a bit of relief from the CV19 mess by interacting on forums and such. How 'bout we give 'em a break?
