Indeed, and we would normally make allowances for English being a second or third language, dyslexia, and plain old faux spelling correction.

But this is the crux of it. You want to get your message across, so it's incumbent on you to try to do that clearly. Ignoring any of the grammer issues, the use of multiple different emphasis schemes and inappropriate quotes (regardless of whether they are single or double, or now even asterisks!) just makes your text really very hard to read. It's almost as if you want it to be hard to read. Just dropping everything that isn't plain text and punctuation would make it a lot easier to get your message across.
Think about a nice schematic diagram, and then consider the same thing but now with three different symbols for resistors, dashed lines for connections in random places and coils labelled D1 etc.
The other aspect is that people judge a book from the cover. It's something humans do in all sorts of fields, from noticing what people wear through to how they pronounce words. Your prose looks like something a poorly-educated juvenile delinquent would write. Granted, you use whole words mostly correctly spelled so it's actually much better than that but, to notice, one has to want to read the stuff and the world-view look of it doesn't encourage that.
So, maybe try not using bold, no italics, no quotes (not needed unless you are quoting what someone actually said). Just trying writing something that is simple text, and once that feels OK then you might better use emphasis (in moderation).

Ah-ha... Ah-ha... So you think those comments in Red say anything about your compassion/understanding ??? Just another Trolling bully!!!!
Maybe read the last Paragraph I wrote above, in my last main answer, before feeling a need to troll/abuse!! you sanctimonious excuse for a compassionate human!

Similarly, should have been a private message.

Did you READ his explanation? (different to the photons striking your retina). Could you not maybe consider to calm down with the style/grammar policing? (btw, you've spelt "grammar" incorrectly, if we are to follow your example of correctness in all things - how utterly tedious)
Give the guy a break, he's a nice chap, you're bringing out the worst in people through your need to "be right" and utter pedantry.

I'd love to install MY 'Turn The Tables App'...
To them 'Adnoid Op Sys' folks I'd require every damn thing, passwords must be 15 or more disassociated characters... THEN, I'd take their complaint:
OXYGEN not working, (spaceship whiners),
Folks having a house fire: "What...oh sir...please log in, while I Google 'house fire procedure...'
Oh, what, no food, in your mansion, please enter password, / user name to 'get started' with my helping you...

After reflecting on this I accept your accusation and criticism. Although I stand by what I wrote, and espectially the intent behind it, I should have sent it as a private message rather than post it in public. For that I apologise and have withdrawn my post.
(Of course, since you and my good friend ETI have quoted it in full that makes little difference, but the option is there for you to edit your quote if you wish.)
