Is there any reason why someone would visit a website and leave comments that display utter contempt for the intended recipients and engage on childish name-calling? By contempt, I don’t mean contempt for anyone’s opinions — though there’s that to spare — but willful misuse of language and a perverse enjoyment of one’s own ignorance. Making an effort to write clearly and with attention to detail is too much to expect from some: it’s clear to me that it’s intended to convey contempt rather than simply slovenliness. I have no time or patience for it.
