I think it more depends on the amount of complaining, the topic, and the connection to it, if any.

Saying "I can't find my teaspoon" once or twice isn't bad.  When you complain for hours about it, then that's a little extreme.  However, if it's the last thing you had from your grandma, it's still overboard, but a little more understandable.

As far as the misspelled word, it depends.  If it's obvious that the person is doing it on purpose (like spelling it correctly and then misspelling it later), then it can get annoying.  However, I've had days where I can't type and people jump on you before you get a chance to correct it.  I was trying to type cheetah for a game of online pictionary and typed cheatah, then cheeetah, and then finally got out cheetah.  A few people said that I needed to learn how to spell despite the fact I did get it spelled correctly and was trying to type it faster than the rest of the players, which obviously can cause you to misspell things.

I kinda get annoyed personally if people correct others.  My friend would send letters to her mother telling her about how school is going.  She would get back the same letter, with red markings on it, telling her how to correct the errors in her letter.  After seeing those letters, unless a post is unreadable, I feel the person deserves a break.

Using Jewish folks as an example in a posted reply is a bit facist  ???

As stated, the WWII example was intended to emphasize subjective hypocrisy.  Why would a minor complaint annoy someone? You've got to do better than that at comprehending the response before implicitly 'complaining' that you've missed the point. It's a matter of perspective and degree.  What's minor and annoying to one may be major and significantly more than annoying to another.  That means that a typo "apple" is recognised as a difference in degree of complaint to a holocaust "orange".  

And the false accusation would be 'fascist', not "facist", (which doesn't apply since no authoritarianism was implied by the metaphor).  Such misapprehensions are like roof replacements; both go over your head.
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

Do you also go chasing after the individual who "bad drive" you on the road.

If "bad drive" means driving badly, (that is recklessly enough to endanger themselves and others), then they are likely to be reported to the highway patrol.  Not doing so would be negligent.  Are you negligent?


If such a simple post could move you to use such a distasteful act as an example then I can imagine your thoughts towards the person who made the post or whoever you intended to offend.

The example was metaphorical and not intended to offend.  Just as your various declarations of xtian faith-based comments are presumbly not intended to offend.

Back to the actual post, I do see your point. I get annoyed when it's intentional like texting. But in terms of posting or Instant Messaging I give room to typos. Why resort to placing everything in a word doc for a short response. Take in mind that word at times can be quite ignorant. Some may not be as literate as some whether computer or literature, while some may hav (Intentional typo) poor sight or simply tired while responding.

Actually, occassional typos neither offend nor, annoy me.  Even continued ones don't since the tentative conclusion drawn is that such is less than literate. Why bother getting annoyed with the illiterate when if they minded being so, they'd do something about it?

No doubt you'll understand why I'd remain dubious regarding such until it's demonstrated otherwise.

I remain dubious. An empty declaration, (even under the guise of a paraphrased movie quote), doesn't constitute a demonstration of otherwise.

They quickly realized that they couldn't dodge forever without looking like they were retreating from indefensible positions.

There are so many things going wrong in the world today. If you wake up and can sign, wash your face, brush your teeth, and take that as a blessing for a new day. I agree with you, Life is too short to sit around complaining.

I am 9 months pregnant and having end of pregnancy pains-so I complain a bit (mainly to myself or my unborn baby), so I guess I am tolerant of complaining.  :D
