This brings to mind your post some time back to the effect that conservatives are bad drivers.

Don't recall posting that. And if I did it was with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

By the way, I had you in the intelligent poster column before this post...now you're in the picky picky column too.

"What a moronic post...You should go and pound some sand."

Finally! Something we agree on.

That post should more properly read:

"What a moronic post...Go pound sand."

The word "and" is unnecessary. Omitting "You should" and "some" from "You should go pound some sand" makes the sentence more direct and forceful. It transforms the sentence into a forceful statement.


Yes it might be considered more forceful like that. But it is not incorrect usage...and besides I was trying to sound as moronic as the persons who usually post that kind of drivel.

I see a tendency for the liberal contributors in this forum to be more eloquent and crafty with their words. Taking care with paragraph and sentence structure. Making sure that spelling is correct.

How about making sure that facts are correct? If only Orky placed even a smidgeon of value on their getting their facts straight, there might be a fair debate.

Orky admittedly values style over substance. Typical hatemongering liberal.
