The entirety of the elucidation you pursue can be acquired from the subsequent excerpt: It would be one thing if I actually wrote about Shakespeare or defended him in any way when discussing writers in various threads, but I never have. You all use him as a caricature of a writer. The majority does so regularly. Shakespeare wrote several impressive works, Romeo & Juliet is terrible. Simply overrated beyond words. Bruno Sammartino & Ric Flair & Hulk Hogan are similar examples. While they are among the top of the list, people take it too far. Moving on, I'm not going to argue with you, but I will say this. You could have written "Your answer is in this passage," but which one was more fun to construct? Even for the sake of the intended joke, it was better the way you put it. I actually had to google which play you referenced for the record. I'll clap out of respect for the humor in your bit.

I have no idea what you're talking about but I still feel like I should be punching you.

I have no idea what you're talking about but I still feel like I should be punching you. They're questions & statements. What more do you need? .

Exactly why do we get one of these I think I'm smarter than everyone else threads every other day?

Exactly why do we get one of these I think I'm smarter than everyone else threads every other day? What did I say to make you think I have any sense of confidence in my opinions? I've been the most vocal detractor of biases & opinions in opposition to facts & knowledge among everyone here. The whole reason I detest Bible Beaters is because they claim to know how the entire universe was made, why it's here, & what it's ultimate end will be. When they have no clue. JUST. LIKE. EVERYONE. ELSE. I make these threads to start discussions. And I'll never let myself underestimate your responses. Ever. Because then I will think I'm as smart as you all think I do. Never believe that you know a bloody thing. Always know you have more to learn.

If you guys find this dude annoying, why do you click his threads? Why do you respond at all?

I didn't mean gimmick like fake. I meant that it's your thing. I also know, that you know not everyone here hates you. But you are asking questions about yourself and this forum. And it's coming from some place. Maybe you are frustrated, or bored, or just poking the bee hive - trolling. I don't know.

I've literally taken beatings in the excuses for wrestling matches I've performed on the independent circuit. They weren't clinics, but I gave my best to do justice to the mat greats. I've totally put myself through chronic neck pain & memory loss just to troll people.

I like you, Phil, and as mentioned before, despite how I present myself on here, I contend with the knowledge that you are just a smart bloke who enjoys discussion in all it's forms. Nonetheless, I acknowledge that other posters will have no idea what you're on about, but the way you roll with the punches is great. I again appeal to the old school wrestling fan in you, with a gif of The Godfather of Puroresu, headdropping The Destroyer; enjoy. Ouch.

I believe I remember reading that you're a fan of classic literature, so I'll just leave this quote here. I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice.

An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice. Twain is one of my favorites. I'll never read Sawyer or Finn again if I don't have to, but I own his complete short stories & enjoy his advice on writing. However, I can't claim he was infallible as no writer is, & to claim such about any writer or genre or style would kill language. Twain wrote prose, not poetry. I write as a person that has poetic sludge seeping from their bone marrow. I'll strive to minimize from here on, but it will never be silenced. Thank you for posting.

The entirety of the elucidation you pursue can be acquired from the subsequent excerpt: I've never defended Shakespeare even once. Why would you think anything related to him would apply to some questions & ideas I posted at all? I hate Romeo & Juliet by the way.

What the hell are you talking about? Honestly I don't have a clue either They're questions & various points that stand as poignant in & of themselves. What's so strange about it? Just think.
