I think that is right. Dyslexia is just an excuse for people not have to correct their own spelling. I have never heard of a case of Dyslexia that prevented people re-reading their posts and correcting obvious mistakes, and then being urged to make more short, pointless posts in the same way.

I still don't think we should've had negative awards, but maybe next year.

Correct, and people with dyslexia do use capitals and punctuation, they may not use them correctly the whole time, but they do use them.
Also spelling, when someone with dyslexia misspells a word it is usually easy to guess what they mean, as they spell the word like it sounds (missing silent k etc.)
i have at least 2 friends with dyslexia (its kinda hard to tell now), and one was my best mate for 12 years (ish) and when he IMs me he has better english then me...(using capitals mainly...)

Some dyslexians choose to scrap punctuation, because they can't get it right anyhow, or find it too hard or time consuming to think about it. Some are lazy people too. But seeing the differance is not allways too easy.
Alcohol is not the answer, it just makes you forget the question.

Can we get detailed stats of how many voted for each? (While still maintaining the anonymity). While I did not vote at all, these people should be protected from revenge by Illegal_Alien and robotboy!

[23:15] Dave: That's like saying the current pope invented Catholicism.

[00:10] Dave: Your mom.
[00:11] r: Say what you want about her, she's a c**t
[00:11] Dave: I take a similar dim view of my own mother.
[00:11]r: Did yours leave your dad for a posh tw*t with a mullet and a handlebar moustache then take what was supposed to be your money for uni as part of the divorce settlement?
[00:12] Dave: Sadly not.
[00:13] r: You know what that means then?
[00:13] r: That means I win.

Could the person who voted on me as most annoying contact me? I'd like to know why I'm found annoying so I can improve that part.
