I'm less of a person or not worthy of the advice I'm asking for?

I don't want to start a bun fight or anything. I just find it difficult to understand why some people take such offence to mistakes.

bought/brought - if you can't use them correctly I will ridicule you and refuse to offer any useful advice.

If you don't put in the correct amount of punctuation I will state you're not fit to look after my children Hmm

When did it become ok to bully someone for making mistakes like this? If they offend your overinflated sense literary justice can you not just leave the thread and not return? Someone who is posting for some kind of help could probably do without being told they are inferior people.

Rant over. Maybe.
