    I see the hate he unwillingly invokes in some as a form of

    "hate" is an exaggeration

    How do you know that it's not deliberate?

    "Ignorance" is nonsense. We have known HenHanna at alt.usage.english
    from long before you appeared there. "Discrimation": what basis do you
    have for saying that? Is there anyone else you think is discriminated
    against? Yourself, perhaps, when you first appeared at
    alt.usage.english and immediately started telling people who had been
    there for years how they should post. Does it surprise you that no one
    liked that?

    So far as HenHanna is concerned, here are some things that annoy people:

    1. Refusing to format messages in a normal way;

    2. Refusing to use normal punctuation;

    3. Refusing to use capitals when they are needed (beginnings of
    sentences, the pronoun I, etc.);

    4. Ignoring all suggestions (and not offering arguments against them);

    5. Using abbreviations like pls and ppl that may be acceptable in SMS
    messages, but are not acceptable in a group devoted to English usage;

    6. Insisting on signing as HH after being told several times that there
    was already an HH at alt.usage.english who had been there much earlier.
    (He's gone now, but was a regular when HenHanna arrived.)

    Perhaps if you think more, and
    realise we cannot be all the same?

    I myself am on the autistic spectrum, so I can see a case for
    toleration. Nevertheless, he is annoying. Athel has listed some of the
    reasons.

    Most of HenHanna's posts seem to be their own question or remarks
    mixed up with quotes of text found somewhere on the web, or maybe
    chatbot answers, and there is no clear delineation which is which.
    I originally thought it might be an artifact of the Google Groups
    interface they were using, but clearly not, so I think I'll just
    ignore their posts.

    You would already be able to disambiguate the two by other methods.

    You irritate me. A lot. You're just proving my point.

    So far as HenHanna is concerned, here are some things that annoy people:

    1. Refusing to format messages in a normal way;

    Refusing, or being unable.

    2. Refusing to use normal punctuation;
