[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who do not like the grammar police comments just report them. They add nothing to the conversation and derail the topic.

I think I will start doing so because I find it obnoxious.[/quote]

Yes, flood Jeff with reports of people correcting grammar. This can only NOT be even more obnoxious than the people correcting the grammar....[/quote]

[b]Actually he encourages reporting posts that derail or add nothing to the topic. Especially when a topic is new because it sets a tone.[/b]

Grammar nazis are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts they are doing it to point and laugh and get a little jolly from it.[/quote]

He encourages people to report grammar police (nazi offends me)? [/quote]

He encourages reporting posts that derail the topic or add nothing to it but nastiness. As I stated. [/quote]

I've never seen website feedback complaints about spelling police derailing threads but obviously if it's being reported I'm not privy to that. If a random grammar correction thrown into a thread details you then you have bigger issues to deal with than you think....[/quote]

I frequently delete grammar-correcting posts that are reported to me. They do tend to detract from the discussion.

Will you delete posts reported for their bad grammar?  Because I find those much more distracting and detracting from the discussion than posts noting grammatical errors.[/quote]

Don't you mean "poor grammar"?[/quote]
D'OH!  Hoist on my own petard![/quote]
