| The UK is currently in the process of prosecuting a man for teaching a dog to do the Hitler salute.

| Why do most users on this site think an Autistic political party is a bad idea? Who are you addressing this question to? The title of the thread asks "why do you not like an Autistic political party?", and I'm inferring that you're addressing everyone on this forum as if we're a collectiv... |

Lamentable, but true...... Don't sell yourself short, man! 
Why grammar is important.
If we move the comma one word to the left, it takes on a disturbing new meaning.
