I have to say, when I saw the title I thought: "Oh no, another rant about it?"
But I'm glad it's actually the other way round, and that you're defending them.
People find it entertaining to bully people behind the safety of a computer screen, not caring that on the other side there's a real person, with feelings. I bet they wouldn't have the guts to do it in real life.
I just don't understand. Okay, what if s/he doesn't use thousants of different adjectives to describe how they yawned? Does it really matter?
S/he has fun doing his/her little RolePlay, and suddenly s/he gets ambushed by a group of 'literate gods' who do nothing but make them feel awful. What's the point? You simply can't stand their RP style, block and move on.
Oh, no. They can't just leave him/her alone and go RolePlay with 'their kind', they have to do everything there is to make the so-called illiterate [I strongly dislike that term] feel bad about him/herself and decide to never RolePlay again, or worse, leave the game.
Instead of being nothing but a horrendous troll, why don't you try to give them advice? Help them RP like you. I'm not saying they should invite him/her in their mapped RolePlay, but still..
The 'literate gods' seem to forget that they, like the people they bully, didn't start off with perfect grammar and RolePlay skills. They also seem to forget that people who could be young/not have English as their first tongue/have things like dyslexia and many other reasons also play this game.
I'd say 'hate' is a strong word. I don't mind people who don't speak perfectly. As long as I can understand them, it's fine. I even RPed a couple of times with them, and tried to accomodate my style with theirs, meaning typing shorter paragraphs, so it won't get lost among the other chat posts, and I have to say that most of them are very nice people, and I'm sure that, if given time, they'd get a lot better.
As an end to my what-looks-like-ranting, humongous post, I have nothing against literate people, being one of them myself, but going as far as actually bullying fellow floofs for your and your friends' amusement is plain disgusting.
I am especially sorry if I happened to offend someone in this post, or if some parts might seem incoherent, but I was starting to get really sick of the people who bully.
