Mike,
Why should we forgive you for your punctuation and spelling, if even you yourself think they are poor? Do something about it, I say. It would sure help us to take your arguments more seriously (or even understand them).
It may seem unfair to focus on
how people say things instead of on
what they say, but in my experience, people with poor language skills tend to be poorly educated overall. You would do yourself a huge favour if you'd compose your prose with a little more care because, that way, people like me would be more inclined seriously to address the actual points you make.
Cheers.
