+ My quick epiphany
    + After posting in a GCD thread about the Q&A and how one user made an unessecary approach, not contributing to the thread at all and posted another grammer nazi thing about the creator of thread's simple and common mistakes. One of the spoonfeeds in the GCD said topic was "How do we make the forum better for people to use?".

    + Stated my opinion said,

    "+ I don't think there is a simple or fast way to "improve" a forum. The source is the users who post on there and we can't exactly change their state of mind so quickly. It comes down to the people typing the mean words, do you think they'll listen to other users who question their form of life? No. All we can do to make a forum a better place is to set a good example and fufill the posting duties while following the ToS and forum rules."

    + Then after a while of looking for more threads for me to post in the GCD I went to thinking about the question, "How do we make the forum better?" and I thought of how I'd respond to Mr. Grammer Nazi if I were the creator of the thread. I'd a) Make a statement how I'd make a mistake it's not such a big deal. b) Do the A option and question on his actions telling him to stop spamming and tell him to get a life, but in more words. c) Do option A & B and report him and say "knthxbai". Then I thought, in the end, none of those options would help make the forum better. I too would be spamming and being a hypocritc without even seeing, no better than the then Grammer Nazi. Plus there would be no moral high ground, I would be using the same tactics as the Grammer Nazi and thinking "PWNed homeslice, now gtfo and enter in the dome of ignoredlisthood!". Using the same thing, to point out one's faults and attack the Grammer nazi would be just like him. To make themselves feel better while going against everything you stood for. Now come to think of it, to gain that moral high ground people need to just do the opposite.
