Please read before you downvote: He wrote: "I can do if you don't know how" he offered me to do it for me. So how is it rude to accept an offer?

Retracted the downvote; my apologies.

"so you do it" is rude. I take no offense as I see that you seem to have difficulty with the language. You could have said "please feel free to post a poll". And I will shortly.

OK, sorry I am not a native speaker and I did not percieve it to be rude.

I think the issue isn't so much that "you do it" is always rude but that it's vulgar. In the same way that abbreviating "you" with "yo" in the thread title is also vulgar. You might try more formal language on LW.

No harm done. I'm neither. But for posts in Discussion I recommend proofreading. According to his user page Gjm offers proofreading. Maybe you send him a private message?
