I, Jon Ferguson, refuse to fall in with you non-conformists. I will continue to use proper grammatical form, in addition to proper sentence structure, in my posts. You language terrorists will rue the day that you fought the establishment! You will always lose!

the fallacy of those whos only expertise and contribution to a collective is form vs substance is exposed when those providing content withold such content in protest of the cries for conformity the basic lack of acknowledgment of contribution of substance which is the essence of all that is the primary purvey nonconformists make to the collective being just more than can be borne escalation to substantive content withholding is the only refuge for content providers and should such ongoing demands for form escalate substance may be added to the strike

I will no longer use the symbol { in any of my postings from now on, to provide power to the unsung, downtrodden, underground, grammar, punctuation and spelling heroes of our little corner of this great nation.

Make it stop. My head is going to explode! ;)

JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS IS HOW THE CANADIAN MILITARY DELIVERS OFFICIAL TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS THERE IS EVEN A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT FORMATS THE TEXT TO THIS FORMAT CAPITALIZING ALL LETTERS AND REMOVING ALL PUNCTUATION EVEN POSTING ORDERS COURSE ACCEPTANCE ORDERS AND ANY ORDERS THAT DIRECT OFFICIAL MOVEMENTS ARE ALL FORMATTED THIS WAY

It is quite infuriating, rather quickly. I can't imagine what the tactical advantage could be.

Cheers

Substance need not be void of order. As a matter of fact, substance loses significance if the reader fails to pick up the nuances of the writer, therefore becoming anything but substance.

It prevents conventional decoding techniques from decrypting their communications. Most people will look for the punctuation in order to see where a new directive begins and the old ends. You've just cost the Nucks a super secret to the power of the terrorists. Jerk. :ss
