That's very brave of you to admit.

The late Michael Jackson could MoonWalk. Your attempts at this are feeble and embarrassing.

YOUR enemy is within as well. You earn nothing for real. You are like a self hating hamster furiously going around and around on a wheel to nowhere, trying to push buttons which don't exist.

And, under it all, given, you are not clinically psychotic, you know it.

Finis.

Called it.

What's the over/under on "her" posting another one?

Self-hating hamster? Enough. You have failed the Turing test.

That's no big deal, unless you're an actual person, in which case it's unimaginably sad.

May the Great Guitar God Bless U.:biggrin: In your core sensibility, which is why you are a musician, you have clarity and character and a dearth of toxins.....and YOU are now a cherished exception here, in this thread which has morphed into a veritable, ad hoc pathology arena populated by malcontents. I, little me (tho only little on the outside)....have clearly, if unimaginably, become some kinda catalyst in the emerging of The Pathology.

And, it is not who I am, it is clearly, what I REPRESENT in some unwittingly festering human interiors.

And, PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE NOT, get recent autobio by Keith Richards!!!!!

I never was a Stones fan, never will be, forget, I find Mick ersatz-verging-on-repulsive in every way, with no real talent beyond his overweening ambition, shrewd business sense, and IGNOBLE willingness to shamefully exploit and try to emulate African-American artists who had/have ACTUAL talent.

But Keith has always intrigued me. And, in this book, he emerges as not only character driven, but smart as hell, erudite, literate, lovable, profound, empathetic, introspective, and beyond. When you come to feel sad that you are coming to the end of a given book (in this case, in ebook format), you know you chose well.

Please, again, if you haven't had this privilege yet....do not miss it!

As for the poor guy whose post you responded to (sadly, he is one of several here), Thoreau (one of my fav dead people) comes to mind: 'The Masses of men Lead Lives of Quiet Desperation" I am now moved to edit that, with this thread in mind, with the addendum...."and sometimes, the desperation is not so quiet."

U think Clapton is the greatest of all time? U think Hendrix was more showman than genius artist? Sincere questions.

Turned it off a minute forty-five in. That was just awful.

People hold "legalese" in contempt because many unskilled lawyers misperceive language as a means to obfuscate the truth.

Good legal writing is clear and can be followed by a layman with minimal effort. The impetus behind good legal writing (and good technical/medical writing) is the need to communicate ideas clearly and effectively. Very, very few legal practitioners can write well precisely because those practitioners tend to mistakenly assume that the writing is merely about following "simple protocols" rather than effective communication of ideas and concepts.

The fact that you are unable to find a "pulse" in legal/medical/technical writing evinces your own limitations. Good writing in these fields is filled with passion and flows directly from the writer's love of his craft and calling.

By the way, do not think you have successfully distracted me from the fact that you have consistently failed to respond to the substantive portions of my posts.

Some of the best writing I've ever encountered (I'm a well-paid professional writer on salary) is in Superior and Supreme Court opinions.

The OP is just babbling pretense and puffery. Flowery, excessive language is generally a tool used by impostors who have little to say. It's also not the Victorian era anymore, either. A good writer knows how to attract and retain an audience as well as spin a phrase.

Another human who thinks professional writers deal with spelling and punctuation? And typos? SERIOUSLY?

Being lazy is the sign of a bad writer, just like overwrought writing is the sign of someone who lacks substance. Sloppy prose can be fixed by a copy editor, but it won't get you a book contract or a staff writing gig at a large international publication.
