That's not quite what I meant. What I should have said is that you should know that this behavior exists and it shouldn't bother you as much as it does. Rather than your example I would instead pose the situation in which you drive your car but become furious every time someone exceeds the speed limit. You know people speed, but would you get bent out of shape every time you see it happen? It's just not worth the effort. As such, trying to get people to adhere to proper grammar and spelling on the internet is an uphill battle to say the least. Although to your credit you did win this round vs. bgqsl. Score one for Scrabble players everywhere.

Well, if you equate bad spelling with speeding than that also means that you agree that bad spelling is illegal
Also, this is not a battle, I politely asked bgqsl to improve his post and he obliged. This is as much a battle as asking someone to pass the salt.
As for the topic, I haven't really thought this through (I just came up with the idea
), but could an awake rainbow pretender help in this case? Specifically, if you are looking into researching a certain spell to counter the knights, then using a rainbow pretender as a researcher for the first turns will give a huge boost to research that will help you reach the target research, and after that he is still as useful as any rainbow pretender.
Then again, it could get quite expensive.
I'll think about it further later on, now I have to meet up with some friends
