It is "also" very "difficult" to understand him since every "term" or "phrase" requires "quotes."
Or is this a "Maine thing"?
Actually, when a writer overuses either quotes, exclamation points, or their text is riddled with various combinations of bold or capitalized italics, it smacks of hype rather than a calm, confident, carefully reasoned approach to their argument.
In this case, I feel the guy was trying to convince himself of his own material, in the face of what is probably a single shred of logical reason left in him. But it looks like his "insanity" is getting the upper hand!!!
