In result said person probably had some negative emotion arise in their heart but said emotion served as a motivating force to discover what exactly is wrong with their posting. Ultimately said person will learn how to properly post and become a little bit better person, since knowledge increases ones value.
That one would be for @Darkenarlol to answer, but I'm quite ready to bet that he/she currently is feeling more negatively about being told "L2..." , even by some stranger on the internet, and even for demonstration purposes, than he/she's feeling positively for having realized that his/her posts aren't properly formatted.
Pain is the source of the best motivation. Without it there would be no progress or even life.
Well I am going to call bollocks on that.
Whipping people doesn't make them learn faster. It just makes you a sadistic bully.

Whether it is the lack of experience or knowledge about game mechanics the fact is obvious that had they learned how to play, they wouldn't have the issues that made them call for a nerf.
In all those threads we see other people saying: "l2p", which stands to: "learn to play". Some people offer education in the topic that is being discussed. While others simply notify the nerf caller about his/her need to increase his/her skill or widen game knowledge. The intention here is good: educate or notify about the importance of education, in order to help the nerf caller overcome his/her issues and have more fun playing the game. However some people consider this condescending or even insulting.
What is your opinion?

without even reading my first post
and turned it into this pointless mess

you are allready such a smart and wonderfull person

One day I was leaving Nik and 2 AD tried to gank me. I killed them both then messaged one and said, "lol.. L2P noob". The player got very upset. At one point I think he was having a panic attack. Our conversation went silent, and I asked if he was OK. He replied.. "No.. I'm not". I felt bad and said, "sorry" which made everything better.
Telling someone to L2P can have a very bad outcome. I suggest using it very wisely.

You have to tell them. Otherwise they spread their lack os sense and skill into other people and dumbing down more and more people.
It is already bad. If you do sick dps, you get called names. Because you practiced and so on. Only in eso do you get praised for being an utter monkey player and called names for being good.
And you then dare to tell them monkeys how to improve, you are the ultra toxic elitist. Again, only in eso.
Being bad gets you respect in this community. If you are good you are a toxic elitist, cheater, Hacker, exploiters and macro user.
