I’m not familiar with the poster in question - but after following the linked examples, I would politely suggest to them that a few extra moments ensuring their contributions are not as typographically awkward wouldn’t go astray. ---

Also, “riddled” is either a noun or an adverb, here it is used as an adjective, which I’m not sure is possible.** I was wondering what the heck were you talking about, because I just can’t see “riddled” as an adverb, but hey, maybe there is some usage I wasn’t… uh… did you mean “verb”, no ad-? ---

A whole lotta people (by definition) will be of average intelligence or lower. Does that mean they don’t “deserve” to participate on a message board? Sure, there may be confusion or miscommunication, but that can happen to anyone. As long as someone is posting in good faith, they should be welcome. One of the most annoying things about this board is how snobby posters can be when it comes to intelligence (_perceived_ intelligence, at that). Gabriel Garcia Marquez describes in his memoir how 1- he was grateful for his editors because he couldn’t spell worth a damn and his grammar was atrocious, and 2- he was essentially innumerate (he couldn’t do even simple addition, like 3 + 5). If he had joined the SDMB\*, a lot of posters would automatically discount him and his contributions because of all the typos and grammatical errors. Yet he is (was :() arguably one of the best writers of the 20th century. - well, or a spanish language equivalent. ---

**nightshadea** , don’t worry about it. Seems like most of us don’t give a shit. Textspeak bothers me much more than a few missing periods or commas, which actually don’t bother me at all. ---
