"Extravagant language can be misunderstood; the more words iused, the greater the possibility of error. OTOH, If the writer wants to obfuscate a meaning, what better way than to bury it in wordiness?"

Exactly. Now, a textbook, or an exposition, or a lengthy novel, or an encyclopedia or a CATECHISM would be different from a verbose, repetitive, off-tangent poster on an internet religion forum

I guess my posts upset you so much you cannot respond to the arguments in them.

If you do not like the style of my posts, I suggest you not read them.

Until you get off your latest kick I might as well tell you I’m not going to be reading yours. Have another beer.
