@kevin-eleven saidShut up you pretentious hypocrite.
I think @sonship sometimes gets carried away or is just greatly inspired by the cadences and promises of Scripture, and wishes to share the benefits that he himself has experienced.
I object to your usage of Rainman here. Whatever views or difficulties you might have when it comes to dealing with people who are on the spectrum or otherwise neurodiverse, the use of Rai ...[text shortened]... t have given us a tally of all the words that had preceded his post, expressed in Sumerian numerals.
Don’t start pulling this crap just when I was getting to tolerate you.

@divegeester saidI would have put a comma after "Shut up".

@kevin-eleven saidI considered that, I like commas, in the right place, of course. However in this instance I felt that using a comma after “shut up” would soften the sense of bark, the snap of irritation which I wished to convey that first sentence.

@divegeester saidI do understand. For instance, in a recent post in another thread I wrote "No it's not" instead of the more correct "No, it's not" because the comma would have completely interfered with the cadence I had in mind.

Also, I would have put either a period or semicolon after "I considered that" instead of a comma.
Sorry or at least indifferent to learn that you, by your own report, wished to convey a sense of bark and/or a snap of irritation.

@divegeester saidActually, I do (as well?). I did realize that the last paragraph in that post kind of undermined some of what I had written above, but I hope it goes over well in some other minds.
To add a dash of fairness to the rebuke, I should really have included “you’re being a” … pretentious hypocrite… “with that post”
But then I thought… who’s got the time for this overthinking!?

@divegeester saidThis is on a tangent (which of course never happens in this forum), but have you ever considered going into root-beer production or perhaps planting an apple orchard?

@kevin-eleven saidI haven’t no; but I’m considering reviving my interest Onions which I have regrettably allowed to lapse recently, in the wake of other life and cognitive demands.

@divegeester saidYeah, some stuff has been occupying and perhaps deranging my brains over here, too.
