He       frequently starts a substance-free comment with a superfluous dependent clause,       and he reuses the *same* lame, stale dependent clauses over and over. Being a       shitty, slovenly writer, which is to be expected for an inferior intellect like       Hartung's, he never reviews what he has just written before posting it. Being       a       shitty intellect in the first place, Hartung wouldn't realize the superfluity       of       the dependent clauses, which is why he wrote them in the first place. The same       is true of his overuse of adverbs and adjectives.              Here are some of the ones I've collected so far. I'll maintain the list and       repost it as needed.               "The last time I checked, ..."        "From where I sit, ..."        "At this point, ..."              Just a few minutes ago, he fucked up "From where I sit," and wrote "From where       I       sis,"              What a fucking dope.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
