not sure how long this post will last but will see. None the less let me first say I'm not trying to start an argument here merely stating a fact maybe some people may realize is them and calm down a bit.
I really really enjoy how wound up people get due to grammatical errors, or spelling mistakes, or any opinion differing from their own. I must say I do truly enjoy how easy it can be to get some people completly furious with you over something so stupid as say my signatures grammatical defect. Every time somone posts how it's wrong and will argue about it just makes me all the less in a rush to fix it. So to all of you "trolls" for lack of a better word, I would like to say thank you as you provide so much entertainment.

I too, am surprised how often the subject of a topic is completely ignored in favor of a flamefest concerning either spelling or grammatical errors.
A lot of people also forget that the EVE community do not all have english as a native language and thus lots of errors are caused simply because people do not have the intimate knowledge of english that most do. <==lovely sentence eh.
Personaly I am not bothered in the slightest by errors. Rather have 10000 errors and a good point than perfect spelling and a lousy flame.

Some of my favourite posts are full of spelling errors ... that "ragnar and night of treachery one" was full of appalling clangors ... its the price of writing direct into the dialogue box while mightily wroth with passionate excess.
But yep, the only presentation stuff I would complain about is the failure to use paragraphs.
You do need to break the text up for it to be readable.
Otherwise, lets face it, attacking personalities and spelling mistakes is a pretty shallow attempt to evade the essential truth that you can't hack it in the real debate.
Love and peace

zarthan, it's just that you have been trying so hard to look like a scary man.
i mean, if freddy krueger was walking about with toilet paper stuck to his shoe, how scary would that be? |

This is the first time I've fully appreciated just how evil you can be. 
I'll remember that

These remarks will no doubt haunt Zarth for the rest of his life.

Homo evil? I just think he looks like that dork Dougie Howser from a distance, an instant moodkiller.

Recognition. Most of the time you don't read the actual word but remember what it looks like. Same thing as with this text.

I'd like to venture a guess that you don't change your sig graphic because:
a) You didn't create it
b) You flattened the image after the 'glow' effect and forgot to save a copy of the original.
c) Don't host the image yourself.
The reason I say is that with the amount of time you spend reading / writing about it, you could have changed it.
A better sig would probably be those guys dressed in plastic in 'dude where's my car' doing the hand signal and saying ZARTHAN after every sentence.
