You may be right. He may be dumb enough to write the opposite of what he meant, but the wording sure could be taken for his belief that Bruce did nothing wrong.

If he meant to write "I didn't say that what Bruce said was okay" he sure missed the mark with "i said nothing about the fact that what bruce said was okay"

The fact that what Bruce said was okay....hmmmmm. Hard call. That's one problem with the internet. We really don't know the character of some of these folks.

People criticize your grammar not because it's supposed to be flawless; rather, because it makes it difficult to read and difficult to understand, the latter being quite important.

I never hear anyone criticize briancurtain or bobbybanaduck for typing in all toggle case letters. Their posts are equally unreadable. I think it has more to do with disagreeing with the content of his posts.

Well, I'm not one who is disagreeing with his posts, so that's not an issue with me. There are degrees of poor grammar, of course. Grammar that is poor enough to make something difficult to read is one thing, but when it makes a post truly difficult to comprehend, it becomes more than just an annoyance.
