And maybe some people are lazy and don't care, but we don't know which.

Well i just find useful posts useful i wouldnt want to rip the poster apart when they are trying to help and you get people picking up on spelling and grammer, id rather people feel they can post on this site without thinking they are going to be made to feel silly and stupid for grammer and spelling mistakes

Would you rather a post being helpful and polite or a post from rude and arrogrant people not helping the op and moaning about spelling and grammer

I would rather people are nice and reasonable. But I would also prefer if people would write properly if using the written medium, if they can. If they can't, fair enough.
I just think that people are perhaps being a bit too harsh on BFG.
If he criticizes someone for their spelling/grammar, then that person is always free to reply 'I have literacy problems/dyslexia/whatever - BOGOFF!'
I would.

Or maybe some people are lazy and don't care, but we don't know which.

(It should really be separated by a comma from the previous option as well (sometimes people have genuine problems with literacy) not the start of a new sentence, otherwise the phrase "but we don't know which" would only apply to being lazy or don't care, but as you typed lazy and don't care I would guess you didn't mean that as the choice)

Please criticize correctly, as I find it more annoying having to poke fun at you, then you do pointing out mistakes no one really cares about.

Well tell them to do one and report them to abuse then. The thing is, forums work on written communication so I don't see why people get so het up about reasonable criticism about basic things. If someone did it to me and I had some genuine problem then I would fling that at them to shut them up and it would work too. But that is just me.

When you start caring what strangers sitting behind a screen think of you (or of your spelling and grammar skills), you know it's time to switch the computer off

They are just words from a random nobody
Ignore it!
