EDITED AS OF AUG 10
New thing to experiment on next time I visit ED with a mule!
Okay, forget the old post - my mind was unthinking XP
I'll get a mule, act NEWbish (with a tint of noob) and see how long it takes until someone tells me what I'm doing wrong without flaming me like hell.
Would that work? Whaddya all think?

Simply put, you will be raped, beaten, and left for dead by about half of the EDers and responded to intelligently by the other half. Yes, fear my psychosis... Erm... wait... Dammit, I did it again. *Fear my psychic powers*

Even the real n00bs will tell you to STFU. Not many people are going to give your posts much thought if they think you didn't put in the effort to make them presentable.

I've done something very similar to that.
I've constructed arguments (actually under this acct) that don't flow like someone who can defend themselves, i.e. bad grammar, turn of phrase, etc; then I've slipped out of character.
Actually I got a lot more people rushing to attack me based on how "poor" my avatar looks.

Really? That's sad.
I have a friend who has been on Gaia for forever and only wears peasant clothes. xd

Hmm, if a post isn't in proper English, I rarely take the time to read translate it.
I have better things to read, to be honest.

Truthfully, I'd probably flame the hell out of you. Look at my sig to know what I mean. I'm a complete grammar Nazi when it comes to the ED or an intelligent debate/conversation.
Because to me, if someone can't even take the time to formulate a half-decent sentence, then how are their arguments going to be even valid or worthwhile?
The only exception I have to this is for people who don't live in English-speaking countries. I'll happily cut those people a break, but ones that are from countries that speak English, I'll happily tear them a new one.

"When left with nothing to debate, quibble over definitions and proper Latin spellings."
That has to be one of my favourite (albeit paraphrased) quotes of all time.
(Yes, I do spend my days determining how best to waste space with frivolous posts such as this.)

That'd be kinda interesting to see. If you hadn't told me this before, I think I'd still have thought you were slightly idiotic, but couldn't deny the logic, depending on the argument. Overall good grammar should be important if you want to seem intelligent, but this seems like it'd be a fun experiment of sorts. Go for it.
