The fact that I know nothing about him and he is always the last poster to post in these kinds of threads when I want to.

It's the first time I post here... Sad

     Philip didn't say skip, so I'll answer about him. Tongue

     Anyway, nothing really. His writing form is really good.

His French is either disappointing or Québec-ish. Tongue

Can be a bit cliched. Or maybe that's just due to English not being his first language.

Could do with sharpening it up at times, but in general... no problems, really.

Haven't seen him carry out an extended debate in a little while...(certainly there are certain posters I can't blame him for not pursuing).  It's a great style, overall, and truly reminds me of his hero, Orwell.  Lucid and very English.

Overly verbose at times, for one.

Make it: "Nobody's style bothers me, really. That's what ignore buttons are for."

I don't like the fact that while generally being grammatically correct, he insists on using the word "which" when "that" should be used for reasons that I don't understand.

I think the ahole may in fact be a better writer than I am. Smiley  Maybe it's because in his venue, there isn't much else to do up there other than commune with the bears in the woods.

Oh God.. if only I typed like people talk here.

ya wouldn unnerstand a gosh darned thing I was sayin now dontcha know!  So Harv says ta me.. ya.. so whadaya think about that Sarah Palin up der in Alaska?

I says to Harv I says.. ya.. she seems like a nice lady an all.. but boy is she dumb as a brick.. "I can see Russia from my house"... ya.. an I can see Manitoba on a cloudy night outta my hind end!@!!!

We have a way of making reaaaally weird and inappropriate analogies.. like

"an I'm think.. ya, you do that and it's gonna back up like goose sh**t through a fine sieve... but he goes 'head an does it anyway.. an sure enough we gotta stink up there that'd make Paul Bunyan's mom proud."

Oh, and to do GM3:

Nothing about your writing style bothers me.  What scares me about you, GM3, is that you could be one of my friend's dads.  Not in real life.. but I mean figuratively.  You share many of the same qualities of my friends' dads.

Over-reliance on ellipses. And more commas, please.

Too much certainty. Though that is really more a content criticism.
