Reread what you type before posting, slowly, not what you think you've typed, the actualy words on the screen, does it make any sence!! If you run out of breath then it needs punctuation at least!! This what I have to do every post I type, and still end up having to edit it afterwards most times.
Good restraint, and I kinda agree, the trouble with forums is you can't tell who actually has a problem and who is being lazy.
Text speak isn't Dyslexia, and I personally don't have an issue with anyone talking the pee or getting grumpy over that, give 'em hell.
But if anyone causes a proper row over Dyslexic typing they'd be better be 100% right that the person is just being lazy, not has an honest problem.
We've lost lots of normal members, because "they've had to live with this shit all their working lifes, and can't face it on something that is supposed to be a fun hobby" which is a sad reflection on our 'club'
Having said that, Mav proves you can over come it with care, or George proves you can over come it by facing the problem like an adult and not getting upset. So there isn't really a reason that it needs to end in tears or arguments.
People with Dyslexic tendences also need to realise this a word based medium, so you HAVE to be able to make yourself understood with words. Its the ability to express yourself properly without a face to look at, that lets people know if your are angry or happy, annoyed or relaxed, being cheeky or rude etc... and make the most of the forum.

You sound quite grown up sometimes.
I think you're spending too much time 'talking' to Matt next door.
