When upset in virtual conversation they pull the whole you must be illiterate because ones grammar isn't flawless. They forget the merits of the debate and start calling you an idiot because of some grammar error which a lot of the time isn't very clear. It pisses me off, a lot of the time I am trying to send a quick response or rebuttal and my objective is to get my message across not to turn in a piece of work with my name on it. Pathetic people. Only care about the optics but never what is behind it. These losers just sit around getting high on their own farts and criticize the world together while they can not balance their own checkbooks or develop their own opinions and critically think. Sorry for the rant but I am sure a good amount of you all can relate.

"If the only rebuttal you have is a grammatical error, I suppose the rest of what I've said is accurate."
Brilliant response!
Awesome response. May I borrow it?
Haha, of course.
In such cases, I do play the game which consists of spotting the actual fallacy:

Burden of proof is the best one tomuse against them right now, since they make claims - we sayntheir talking bollocks - they then tell us to provide proof that their claims are false.
They have to prove their claims are true. I see a lot of people getting drawn into this one.
If scrutinizing your ‘grammar’ is there only argument, then you’ve already won ?
Edit: yup, I misspelled ‘their’ -oh the irony ;) lol
"their. ?

Haha nice ?
The only value to debating with people is the others who observe the debate. You have a 0% of convincing the person you are debating of anything. When they devolve to personal attacks, you are likely winning. And isn't it interesting how quick and how often the left cracks and starts attacking?
Coming from a liberal mind; That argument is intentional, and they want you pissed off. It's easier to make you slip up and act the fool for a falsified higher ground.
The moment their argument falls apart they will attack you on lying, previous arguments, previous falsehoods, repeated grammar mistakes, sparky false equivalents, and full on gaslighting.
The moment they got you to become defensive, that just start attacking how wrong you were period, thus making others witnessing it thinking twice if the Sky really is blue.
Sometimes, the best outcome you can hope for in these situations is to give these people all the room they need to have their hissy fit and hope that everyone witnessing it sees how sane you appear in comparison.
I find that when Leftists breathe, it annoys me.

Excellent point
One’s
jk btw
I have ran into that a few times, but most of the time they put statements in my mouth, or they say I said things I never said... I mean, I could understand claims like that if my messages weren’t readily available to reread and base their replies off of.
“You told me you hated LGBT and then you sent me a frightening message in a PM” knowing damn good and well that I had not done neither of their claims.
It’s like they are arguing with more people than me and get confused with the arguments they are having.
How do you know you've beat a leftist online? Their only response to your points are about grammar or something completely unrelated. See all of Twitter and Reddit.
You are ?% correct and took the words straight from my mouth ?. You write a nice opinion or fact or rebuttal and they just point out your bad spelling or missing comma. Irritating ??.
Don’t waste your time, you can’t reason with an unreasonable person. Sociopaths only choose to engage, there’s never a right or wrong answer. Don’t spend time trying to rationalize with a Sociopath you will lose every time
Yeah and then all that's remembered from whatever you were talking about is "But yOu madE a TYpo!"
Those leftists are just sad pathetic people that are full of hate and need something or someone to be angry at. They're anger addicts but also many seem to have some serious mental issues.
This is the internet, I don't give a fuck if my grammar is perfect and I don't give a fuck if your grammar is perfect. People often abbreviate and not care about accuracy when talking online.
