Anyone who is opposing PPM is being a little harsh. We all said shut up in our lives. No one is perfect. I know PPM will do a good job. You all can't see it. Harsh? Well that is something to deal with. To be stern in opposing a user from earning a staff position is often normal. As for what you said that we all said shut up in our lives, here is the thing: telling a user to shut up is deemed as an insult in numerous wikis. And we all know insulting is a no-no, hence this wiki forbids the insulting of other users or using words to insult or harass others.

Whats wrong with correcting grammar? He was just trying to be helpful. Repeatedly grammar-nazing a user is another form of harassment. If a user tells you to stop pointing out their grammar, you stop. What should really stop should immediately stop. Well he can always change. Plus, the word shut-up does not necessarily always have to be used in terms of insulting. Like someone makes a joke about some other person, and that other person says shut up, man... You know? This may not be what actually happened but my point is that the phrase shut up is not always used for insulting. Shut up is a Low level swear word. Nothing wrong with that entirely.
