Yes, his messages somehow boring and generally no point to go. BUT, he
doesn't use any profanity, and made nothing against the black book. He even
tries to contribute some and recently climbs some necessary steps, too,
which shows an improvement on the way. If anyone considers leaving a group
just because of a boring and irritating participant, it's his/her own
problem I think. There is many possibilities like killfile or just marking
anything from him as read. I don't think most of the people read everything
on the server, so just do as the same what you do for the messages that you
are not interested in.
Smelling bad and looking bad are not the same things. If someone smells bad,
you sure want him/her to go out and never come back without taking a bath,
since you can't make all the other people squeeze their noses. But if
somebody has a harmless but stupid and irritating clothes, just looking at
the other side is the way to go.
For the grammar of his messages, yes it is very irritating, too, but besides
the above also applies here, just think about the very near future of the
Lugnet when a flood of non-adults arrives here. I can't managed to see more
than a handful of teens using appropriate punctuation in their messages
(especially from US..:-).
just may 0.02 TL..:-) (too much less from 0.02 cents.)
