Who ever said that? Stop making things up. That's really pathetic.

He didn't shorten any other words.
Plenty of people don't say please. You don't blow your top over them
though.

Why?

It's how a lot of people talk. If you don't like it then you should
leave the group. Don't start attacking people for no reason though.

Asking for ascii art doesn't mean that he wanted people to draw some
for him does it? I'm amazed that I have to explain this to you but
there is a LOT of pre existing ascii art out there.
