It's sad that you won't take time to correct the spelling, grammar, and syntax
errors in your posts. It almost looks as though you might have something
useful to say, something not all of us have heard before, yet your bombastic
commentary, combined with your abysmal presentation due to lack of care with
respect to syntax, spelling, and grammar robs you of credibility. It even
makes it hard to figure out what you're trying to say.
Many of us are given, from time to time, to making extreme statements, but
only a complete idiot would make such blatant errors and not endeavor to
correct them. Why not help us all out and take the extra 10 seconds per
message to straighten this sort of thing out? Surely you can do better, just
as a favor to the rest of us, who might glean some useful information from
your posts.
