   Hartung, a notoriously shitty writer, has one characteristic of shitty writing   
   that stands out beyond his massive number of typos and run-on sentences.  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.
