and everyone doesn't follow the same path. Some have more education than others; some have more money than others; some are better looking than others; some are more congenial than others, some communicate better than others.
I no people who cain't speel; that doesn't make them bad people. I know people who can't type; that doesn't make them bad people. I know people who use "no" instead of "know"; who get confused about whether to type "your" or "you're", and get lost in the "there", "they're", and "their" category...and that doesn't make them bad people, either.
Last I knew there were no educational, financial, or personality standards that had to be met in order to join our club. Personally, I find it very unbecoming when club members make fun of others whose chipboard posts aren't perfectly spelled and punctuated. I find it especially troubling when it's club officers doing the belittling.
Every club member is important to the club, and deserves to be treated with respect. Every non-member is potentially a future member, and deserves to be treated with respect.
I'm pretty sure that my post won't change anyone's behavior, but I thought it needed to be said.....
Thanks for reading it
