Where do you find the worst writing on the web?

I don't mean in spelling, grammar or punctuation -- not necessarily. I mean, lousy writing. I was just browsing the home page of the Ottowa Lynx, the Orioles' Triple A team, and found that I am a total snob. I want everything I read to be clear, concise, and mature. Fortunately, the writing found there won't put off any baseball fans.

4. It's everywhere. We're surrounded.

I mostly just suffer in silence. I am a fellow snob.

7. a quote from this *ahem* warrior

"Liberals should just sit down and shut up. Let the honest, courageous-enough-to deal-with-the-truth, thinking Conservatives run the world, so at the least, they can be safe, and better, we can be safe from them."

God knows who said it. If he wrote it he shouldn't have put it into quotes. If someone else wrote it he should've offered attribution. :eyes:

See what I mean about being a snob?

9. but wait, there's more!

"To think, act and believe through my own thoughts and actions in a manner, alone and while interacting with all others, that convinces any eyes and ears upon me that each human life is to be made important and taken serious, and that one should do in one's lifetime that which will live forever."

The "Warrior's" mission statement.

Touching.

6. Alright, I know my writing is not always the best

I just wanted to say that before I get nominated. I think of my posts more as practice.
Am I being paranoid?
