The psychology of grammar police, typo spotters and other types of nitpickers

We have a few here and in particular one that stands out above them all.

They want a sense of superiority. This is the most common group. They are not favourably predisposed to your messages. They either dislike the content, dislike the sender, or are looking to increase their self-esteem at your expense.

This group won’t debate with you on the core issues of the message, but score tiny victories by pointing out minor mistakes. Don’t engage the final group - especially if they end their message with snark . This group is highly resistant to any messages from you. Their needs are to feel superior, unchallenged, and increase their self-esteem at your expense.

This behavior often stems from the message challenging the recipient to change their ways. Instead of assessing the problem, they ignore it. Instead they react against the message and its sender.

You must be talking about Koosie, the grammar nazi who'll use spellcheck and everything else as modus operandi to put someone down and/or to show his superiority. I used to think it was just a South African thing, but no everyone else is pretty cool other than Koosie of course.

Yep..... he's the one

It's the only way he ever gets a minor win over any poster on here... …..

Desperate times call for desperate measures...…

LMAO

Haha hahahahahhaha what would we do without ou rooijackass providing so much comedy!

The comedy who tries to run the WH from Diepsloot.....now that is funny. The lifeless loser spends more time in this forum worrying about Donnie's faults than his own, one would think it'd be the other way around. I guess that's why he is a Loser.
