Variatio<\/em>: the Romans were right that variety in word selection avoids monotony. Your repetition of the f-word does not achieve emphasis, despite your efforts to use the verb, adjective, and noun forms. Ten minutes with Quintilian or Cicero\u2019s rhetoric works would do wonders for your style (easily found in translation on Amazon).<\/p>\n2) Why does the Left so often mix sexual profanity and violence? Your vocabulary is a window into a dark soul. I suggest it is a bad mixture, so pick either sexual violence or profanity, but not both. To suggest is to create, to be ornate is to destroy.<\/p>\n
3) What exactly is a \u201cuniparty\u201d? Who belongs to \u201cone-party?\u201d Strive for clarity of thought.<\/p>\n
4) What exactly is \u201celitist?\u201d I thought the charge against Trump supporters was that they were yahoos, not elitists; Red-state Americans voted against elitism. Again, seek some sort of consistency in your ideology; otherwise it is mere street thug vocabulary and adolescent swearing.<\/p>\n
5) I\u2019m 63 and have never written a single anonymous letter in my life or used a pseudonym\u2014and have never suffered for it. Try signing your angry letters. At least that way you own your crudity.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
