The space bar, motherfucker, can you use it?!?

Most of the time I cull topics for this blog from individual posts, but sometimes I feel it necessary to highlight a forum member's entire body of work. It could be because they're overinvested weirdos or they indulge in TMI all the time or they're insufferable know-it-alls. And sometimes it'll be because they do one little thing that doesn't seem like that big of a deal when it's just a post here and there but becomes a peeve of epic proportions when they do it in every single post. For example, take a look at just one post from afroceltic here:

Okay,I was out all day yesterday,so I haven't seen this episode yet,however, this reminded me of Jon Lovitz,as Master Thespian, "It's called ACTING!"

One sentence, four instances of shunning the space bar. What did it ever do to afroceltic? Did the space bar run over her puppy? Rape her mom? Eat the last chocolate chip cookie? Its sins must be horrific because all of afroceltic's posts, or least all of the ones I've skimmed in the first few pages of her posting history, feature this egregious dislike of the hard-working space bar. This poster has racked up over 1,100 posts without anyone snapping and tattling on her grammar-abusing ass to the Forum Traffic Court. I admire their fortitude, truly.
