Re: not meaning to blaspheme here...
Alright, first off, may a thousand lice invade your bedclothes for making a post that has kept me from getting some much needed sleep. Now, with that out of the way...
As you say, your post was an opinion piece, which I can respect, everyone is entitled to their own, however the way you went about voicing your opinion is what's kept me up, and probably brought down the wrath of Zombie Steve Irwin upon you.
First off, timing. Mystic Girl has essentially been accepted by everyone here as never going to happen for several years now. We've come to grips with that, had a collective sigh, and moved on. We've got a very promising Jungle Girl remake in the works, and some dude in Japan is working on a derivitive of Demon Girl.
Secondly, probably the most notable problem, your punctuation (This is tied in with my third point, keep reading). As one wise person once wrote, Capitalization is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse" and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse". Reading a post like yours made me think of a 13 year old running into a room and saying, without taking note of what is currently taking place in said room, "This is how things are and you can't say anything about it." It just seems immature. Given that this is an adult forum and that all members are, obsensiably, over 18 years of age, this makes you stand out.
My third, and final point, is your defense. Dyslexia is a very broad disability that I'm not entirely sure that you have. To quote:

as for the crappy punctuation, i have dyslexia. which has been a real pain in the ass, as whenever i post one of my stories on the net, it always has as a reaction "learn to spell you retard." or "i have a friend called punctuation that i think you should have a chat with." and i will tell you all what i told them. "if you don't like it, then don't fucking read it! don't come crying to me, cuz as you just pointed out, I'M RETARDED!" simple as.
The only spelling error you made here, was cuz, which is an understandable shortening of because. All of the other errors were ones I havn't made since... oh 5th grade? (That takes me back a while. God I feel old.) I'll admit, I was slow myself learning proper sentance structure and grammar, and I still make the same spelling mistakes with certain words. However, with the helpful critique of friends, teachers and family, I'm improving my writing skills even today.
Unless you actually do have a form of dyslexia, which I'll repeat, I doubt, but prove me wrong. I like being proven wrong. Please prove me wrong. I'd rather be wrong than be right that there's yet another human being who can't be bothered to communicate at the same standards of everyone else out there. (I call this philosophy, the cynical optomist.) So unless you do have dyslexia, my suggestion would be to find a cheap typing tutor program (or find one for free, they arn't that hard to find) and just sit down for a few hours a week, when you get off school or work for half an hour say, and just type. The good programs will point out your errors, and just through practice and work, you should be up to a level where people won't make fun of you before even reading what you have to say. It sucks, but presentation is very important if you want to have a serious discussion with people, especially online where details like body language or tense are not easily apparent (this problem leads me to state when I'm being sarcastic. It really takes the bite out of some of my jabs.)
I did have something to say in this last little bit about Cappy and sexuality, but I'll leave that up to the imagination. Lets just say it had something to do with tentacles and dead austrailians.
(Upon previewing this post: By the FSM, what have I created? I think this may be my biggest post since the internet. It's all your fault starwarsdudeEC! I'll get you one of these days! Just you wait! I'll have my revenge! *Runs away as the evil fortress begins collapsing under itself*)
