You might be right about the efficacy of these presentation and confrontation styles, but there's also a clear divide between the most direct path to big forums results and the practical limitations of correlating my observations to specific individuals and/or specific instances. It's also important to note that my original post, as you might have guessed, was not designed to affect any sort of significant change in the general posting styles of people on this message board. If anything, I was just being a sassy bully, since if the generic poster I'm addressing is supposed to feel like a jerk or something. Now, it is what it is, and if what it is is me trying to make people on a forum about reading devices feel bad about typing styles reflective of a lack of familiarity with written English then I'd posit that the best way to achieve the widest reach for my barbs is to reach wide.
If the purpose of my expression were to address a specific posting trend (like a really lame thread title meme), then I might be better served by posting a rigidly structured list of relevant examples attached to names. Since I was going for something a lot more casual and a little less mean, I still feel that the most practical choice of format was a general address to any willing reader.
As far as the Bible and all that, I actually started giving 'er a try recently and I'm up to ~chapter 15 in Genesis. In what amounts to a situation whose mentioning is almost devoid of irony, I'm actually reading it on my 505, and it's a copy that I got from these very forums since the "classic" version I got from the Sony store has a recurring formatting error that makes attempting to read it unutterably silly. I'll make sure to check out that passage and give it some thought.
