A recent episode came to mind...where a new member (who may have lacked in forum skills, as well as grammatical ability) brought a very sensitive issue into our midst, in what seemed to be hope of advice, and consolation. It would seem the PC mindset was not in play there, as she was given ample explanation of her faults, and made to feel somewhat inadequate.
In this case I would not have been so quick to ridicule minor spelling, or typing quality and instead paid attention to the individuals needs, there is definately a time to correct such things....but adding insult to injury (literally) seemed to me , bad form.
I would hope we are better than that.
