What if I only grammar police the grammar cops and no one else*?

What does Psychology Today have to say about that?

*unless I strongly disagree with their hypocrisy and they say something like 'your stupid'. No one can pass that one up.

      (unless Unless)

    Even though it’s a footnote preceded by an asterisk, it is also an autonomous sentence of its own, and therefore, its first word should be capitalized.

    You will find yourself with little to do and a lot of time on your hands.

    I suppose all of us on here have a lot of time on our hands.

    But what's the point? So few errors, so much time.

      Sometimes, the prey (Randolph) wins over the predator (Ansley).

    I was hoping for a bit of free psychoanalysis, but I am glad you approve. 

    :P

    You know what? I am magnanimous in this.. I overlook their errors 99% of the time. I'd happily leave the job to someone else,  I think I am too nice :P

    I genuinely feel bad for the people who feel bad about it, but I'm a bleeding heart liberal/compassionate, empathetic person by nature so what the heck do I know?  I'm also something of a grammar snob, so this seems like a win/win proposition for me.
