Does this qualify as a religion in the 21st century involving rape and beatings?
Any murders?  Tortures?  Will the MSM and certain posters here rail against separation of church and state?  I doubt it.  Double standards.

About Me

I began blogging in earnest over at “Say Anything”. Some of the, shall we say charitably, dumbest statements being made there were terribly misspelled, with atrocious grammar. I took it upon myself to try to correct their thinking, spelling and grammar and adopted the Nom de Cyber: “Proofreader Emeritus”. Along the way, I shortened it to “Proof”. But, because there is at least one more “Proof” roaming Cyberspace, you may have linked here through a comment by one “Alacrityfitzhugh”. (An homage to Brian Daley’s Alacrity Fitzhugh, because, everyone should have a name that fits you!)

Occupation: Resident Sesquipedalian, what the heck is this?

Sesquipedalian n. One who is inordinately infatuated with polysyllabic obfuscation, preferring never to employ a less complicated syntactic arrangement of descriptive words when there exists a single expressive unit that amalgamates the multiplicity of morphemes1 comprising the simpler phrase. Among the manifold objectives of multisyllabic, holophrastic2 verbalism are those of: rendering the author’s meaning indisputably precise yet simultaneously incomprehensible; demonstrating through superior orthography and lexical awareness that the writer is manifestly more erudite than the reader; disempowering intellectual challenge to the proponent’s argument by using logomachinations3 to divert discussion to the establishment of the opponent’s comprehension of the vocabulary as opposed to addressing the factual import of the treatise which, upon analysis, may well prove amphigorous4. The obscurantist5 sesquipedalian is likely to compound the reader’s difficulties by indulging in glossosynthesis6, thus enabling the author to dismiss all opposing views as ultracrepidarious7. In other words, a sesquipedalian is one who would call a spade a manuo-pedal excavationary implement8.

Now im no worksmith, but I think this translates to “Talker of shit”.

Well this is one thing agree absolutely with Proof about. Probably the only thing.

Buzz: Nice bloviation!

Now im no worksmith, but I think this translates to “Talker of shit”.

Buzz! No one has ever accused you of thinking!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

Besides, I think what you meant to say was:

I’m no wordsmith.

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

dumbest statements being made there were terribly misspelled, with atrocious grammar.

And that was before I even met you, Buzz! Heh.

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

I wondered how long it would you to catch the misspelling. Good job talker of shit. Only like four minutes. You passed the test. Yay.

poof really is the Queen Spelling Bea!

Buzz: Thanks for the verbose definition of sesquipedalian. Too bad you missed the motto of my blog:

I am lapidary but not eristic when I use big words

I’ll wait here while you look those up!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

Don’t wait… don’t care. You are helping prove my point though, your reply’s are mostly obsessive-compulsive bullshit.

Buy American, Buy Union Made… the job you save might be your own.

Don’t wait… don’t care.

I’ll try to use smaller words when you’re around, Buzz!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!

So, Proof, am I to assume that you, by your own admission, use complicated syntax and unnecessarily “sophisticated” vocabulary to throw a shawl under your readers eyes when anyone with even a simple understanding of the English language can plainly see you are using big words for the sake of using big words. 

The greatest writers off all time have said what they needed to say in the simplest way possible.  Dickens did it, and I’m sure if he was alive today he would not find a need to stroke his e-penis by using unnecessarily sesquipedalian words to divert from what he was really trying to say. 

The “proof” is in the pudding.

Your ability to nitpick one’s grammar and insult one’s “inferior” vocabulary might make you a great high school English teacher, but they make you no intellectual.

BTW, for Buzz (and anyone else who is reading impaired) this post was not about me!
You, as a reader of the blog are free not to comment if you have nothing to say!
(Like I usually do with the blogs by Huff-po(cutandpaste)bob)

And for the dictionary impaired:

everyone should have a name that fits you

Let me swing the judgmental grammar pendulum your way Proof.

Everyone is an indefinite pronoun requiring not only singular verbs but also singular personal pronouns.  Your sentence should read as follows: Everyone should have a name that fits him or her.

Let me swing the judgmental grammar pendulum your way Proof.

Please do! But if you want to nit pick Alacrity Fitzhugh, the pun is not mine, but the late Bryan Daley’s.
Again, humorless Catbox: You’re new here. I doubt that you’ve read enough of what I’ve written to judge my intellectual prowess or grammatical abilities.
But fire away, if it makes you happy!

Buzz,

Put your shirt back on.  A tanned whale is still a whale.

Cat Mow,

The phrase you were reaching for but failed to grasp is “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

“blackwater"boob,

Still content free after all these years (and nearly 2700 comments)…

Proof,

An interesting assortment of the usual idiots out supporting rape, assault, battery, and satanism I see.  Interesting the things they see fit to defend via attacks upon the messenger (and nary a word about the accused and what they are accused of).

Because all of the well known comedians are conservative? 

I mean the 1/2 hour news hour was great, but that is a hard standard to meet.

Rodney: It’s like being tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail: “If it weren’t for the honor of it, I’d just as soon pass.”

No, because everyone here seems to be too obtuse to recognize that the sesquipedalian comment was a joke.

Meanwhile back to the subject of this post, I suspect that cult worship is a natural product of a secular relativism which denies the percepts of convential religion.  I mean how can anyone who supports abortion have any morality.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

“I suspect that cult worship is a natural product of a secular relativism”

What’s the difference between organized religion and “cult” worship?

Both are merely faiths that require their followers to accept something without any real proof.

Christianity is no more valid a religion than Satanism. Christianity is simply more accepted and more widely practiced. Both require faith.

Oh my,

We’ve got ourselves a deconstuctionist here.

I’m no deconstructionist.  Step back from the religious cloud you live in and you will see that my argument is logically sound.

Satanism, Islam, Christianity, etc. all require their followers to believe in something they can’t touch, see, feel, or hear.

That is a simple definition of religion regardless of my emotion towards them.

I find many aspects of each religion to be of value to me in my daily life, but do not consider myself a following member of any of them.
