I agree! In fact, his lack of paragraphs causes me so much eyestrain, I can only relieve it by gouging my corneas with a potato peeler dipped in hot sauce. Then the whole racism thing… well, don’t get me started. Racism is so horrible that its very existence causes me to shiver controllably with tortured weeping, to the point where the racked spasm of my body can only be checked by using a nailgun to secure my arms to the tabletop, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to type this, and it’s already difficult enough because the keys are sticky with smeared blood, tears and hot sauce. And when 2.5 inches starts a thread, the horror of it partly sears my soul, with the rest being seared by the blowtorch I must sweep across my body to expiate the sins that his postings arise in all humanity and which I must purge on their behalf. And Liberal, well… he’s okay.

You know who else didn’t use paragraphs in his writing? Francis Grainger.

That’s true. He also typed Mein Kampf without the use of spaces or punctuation, because he typed using his dick.

I retracted my renunciation because I had already renounced my objection to the rejection of my retraction. But I will be willing to amend the change to the supplemental attachment that modified my original reiteration of my first retraction of the objection I made to the objection I read after the previous rejection of my initial retraction.
