I've noticed that people on MN are certainly not afraid to give their true opinions even if it's just to be nasty. Such a shame.
I wouldn't let it get to you - just skip over the bitchy comments. I feel sorry for people who have nothing better to do than be snarky and mean!
Unfortunately, there will always be people like this in the world - sad but true.
What was your original post about?

Yes and u would not think on a page like this they would call u out for punctuation thanks for telling me as 3 people said it not everyone is the same way can do punctuation I read plenty posts no punctuation and i can read if u can read a text really not nice and bitchy I better not post something meaningful on here as u get people that come on these sites just to be nasty everyone has advice or opinion and some people attack how u spell Punctuation I seen one were they jumped on a girl with Asperger's and because she sounds angry they were saying u don't need to be cheeky she explained her condition and it's the way she comes across she isn't meant for it to sound like that 1 told maybe u should not be on the internet then if you don't understand it she never commented again I felt that was bullying abit

People don't normally use text speak on MN as it's hard to read in large blocks. Some people use sight reading software which can't handle text speak or English isn't their first language. Or some have disabilities that make reading text speak difficult.
But it is rude to make nasty comments about it to you though. They could just have asked nicely about not using a lot of text speak if needs be.

There are a few people who like to pile on to threads and make unpleasant, unconstructive comments.
The vast majority of posters on MN are supportive and well-meaning.
I agree that Rosanne Barr's tweet was abhorrent.
