I think you are just being lazy.

    It is really very easy to format as you go. Every several sentences, hit return twice. It's super easy. Doing so will give the illusion of paragraphs, which are easier on the eyes of 99% of readers. Format is more important than spelling, but do what you will. I am not here to point out your numerous spelling "erros", as you call them. However, sloppy presentation makes it real easy to "critize" you.

    My point is that presentation is important in all matters, and sloppy presentation alienates potential allies. As far as I know, there is one regular in this tavern who [somewhat] shares your main viewpoints on this matter, and that is I, but your exposition failed to rally me to your side.

    Piracy is illegal. The "Flying" policy is rooted in this. If you want to change minds, presentation is essential. Would you go to the courthouse unshaven, wearing loafers and a tank-top? No, you'd clean up and put on a suit. This analogy fits perfectly and for it I am very pleased with myself.

    Of course, you will conduct yourself as you please. The internet abounds in unformated, grammarless gibberish in constant need of deciphering. It is a bit like being in a room full of preschoolers who are playing at being college graduates. The children want to be treated as adults, they want to be taken seriously; the adults roll their eyes and stifle their laughter.
