Re: Moderator editting?
Then it is up to the poster to fix they typos. Spelling changes could potentially change the whole meaning of a post. What is on persons typo could be anothers point in an argument. I do not thinmods should fix typos, but if they are going to there needs to be full disclosure.
In this case I am very curious as to what the correction was. I miss typos at times, but certain changes of what some might call a spelling error, may be changing the nature and flavour of my post
The word flavour may be considered a typo by many. My grandmother was one of the first people to teach me how to read and write. As she was Canadian she used some British English spellings. To this day I sometimes use -our or -re endings instead of the American versions. Drove my schoolteachers crazy.
especially since I tend to be far to sloppy about those.
Use spellcheck. Firefox has it built in.

Re: Moderator editting?
I think a message to the poster is appropriate explaining there is an issue. Editing the post is not the answer. Your change is not how I would have corrected it. I would never write anything as ridiculous as [and], this makes me look like I am incapable of writing an english sentence.
My correction would have been.
Show how his theories are valid, how they do not defy scientific...
This sentence has punch and leads to the next sentence. The tenor of the post was changed.
I was merely making your post understandable. people can misinterpret ho versus how....
That is a crock. Anyone with basic reasoning skills would have known the word intended was how.
DO NOT EDIT MY POSTS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
Are we clear?
If my posts demand editing than it would be for a suspendable offense.

Admin, is this what you want this site to be? He obviously only wants to start flame wars and gets some sort of perverse satisfaction from it.

Re: frako
almost always misspelled and lacking meaningful punctuation
You do realize that not all posters here are native English speakers. I would like to see how well your spelling and punctuation would be if you were posting in Slovenian.

It appears that my post was something that the OP (Theodoric) did not agree with, and in his response decided that berrating me was appropriate and acceptable. I am sorry I have a different opinion but I think more tact would have been appropriate, rather than the school-yard behavior I encountered.
Are you freaking serious?
You further responses and lack of backing yourself up just assured me that I may be hitting too close to home.
so based on my opinion I am either "not smart" or a "poser".
Since you have no evidence to back up your opinion your opinion deserves no respect from me.
Trying to stop an enraged bear with a hollow point .357 is not smart. I do not care if it is your opinion, it is just not smart. I nor you can change that fact. It is reality live with it. As you have posted nothing to show you have an understanding of guns or ballistics my gut impression is that you do not know of which you speak. You make a lame comment based on nothing except seemingly false bravado and what do you expect.
It was a stupid comment plain and simple. Until you provide something to show that it is not, I stand by what I said.
If you don't want to be mocked don't post stupid things.
I have not run into it until now, the vast majority of the poeple here are respectful, even to those of other opinions.
You can have any opinion you want, but it can still be stupid.
