You’re a lawyer? Did the bar not have a written section?
It means someone is reading your posts.
So are we, dude, so the fuck are we.
Dude.
Calm down.
Read what you’ve written before you hit the “post” button. Better yet, call a friend over (and very important: make sure said friend has not hit the hash pipe in at least an hour) and have him read it.
If he can’t figure out what the fuck you’re saying- and especially if you can’t figure out what the fuck you’re saying- start again.
Try using simple words.
Try to correctly use punctuation and correct capitalization.
Try avoiding allegory.
Try to ensure that your sentences are complete, and that they contain such important parts as subjects, verbs, and a coherent connection to the previous sentence. If that seems too tough, which it seems it might be, try to at least ensure a coherent connection to something someone else said in the thread.
Spacing is also important, as it keeps words apart.
It is generally acceptable to follow up one’s post with an immediate post to correct mistakes or better explain a concept. If one has to follow up one’s initial post with three successive posts to try and flesh out one’s initial thoughts, perhaps one should fucking well try writing it all out first and editing rather than immediately posting the first random blurb of text that your Mary-Jane befumed brain cells think encapsulates the entire meaning of the whole multiphasement, whoa.
Just because it is called “The Straight Dope” does not mean one should actually be high while posting to it. And I am sick of having you drop two to three threads in a row into GD where one feels a contact high from reading the OP.
Please, please, please clean up your style, okay? Just because elucidator writes flowery prose to cover the fact that he really doesn’t have anything to say does not mean that just anyone can get away with that: luci is a maestro of bullshit, a veritable di Vinci of meaningless prose. You, sir, are at best a Jackson Pollack: splattered, messy, and incomprehensible to anyone who has not devoted years of their life to the study of you.
Please, sir, reform your ways, or hire a fucking editor or something. I would much prefer to malign you for your pathetic Trotskyite worldview, but it’s so hard to even understand if you know what the fuck you’re rambling about that to discuss the subject matter seems pointless.
To end with:
It’s an alaricthegoth thread. How can anyone be sure?
