. and yes, i enjoy difference, how boring would it be if we all thumbs-upped every film in unison . that said, i hardly go out of my way to incite, and what i share with y'all are my thoughts and beliefs on not only film, but why i think film is valuable, how it relates to the world - unfortunately, not a lot of people here do that .

It doesn't mean anything to me as a reader, I'm afraid.pixote
. just (sometimes) trying something out with the periods, playing around . i kinda like the look of it . the comma issue is something altogether different, i have a long-standing issue with obsessive use
Even if it made skjerka crushingly unhappy, I'd still rather he didn't 'decorate'. Punctuation is a beautiful thing, but only when it isn't being figuratively raped.

Punctuation is a beautiful thing, but only when it isn't being figuratively raped. . punctuation is a hegemonic tool undertheorized . using rape as an analogy is symptomatic of a patriarchial world-view that does work to maintain the status quo (the same kind of work reifying "rules" of grammar does)
