Anyways, the point of this obnoxiously long and probably vaguely hypocritical post was to say that I feel we should not be required to make posts of a certain length simply because the forum is titled "Intellectual". (I got a little bit sidetracked, sorry about that)
And of course it is also possible that I am out of date and this argument has already been made...but rest assured I did check the search bar and it couldn't find anything similar.

you say that but i bet that every other word in that post was written using thesaurus.com.
hahaha.
next time, try not be hypocritical and don't try so hard to make people realize you're smart.

While it is unfortunate that I cannot call you a fool and be done with it due to the verbosity requirement, I find that requirement an amusing part of the quasi-serious place of discussion, quasi-joke that is this forum.

However, I doubt that the word limit is going to disappear anytime soon. Though the logical foundation upon which the word limit was built is fallacious, it is completely irrelevant to the fact that David only enforces it to piss us off.

Fucking for fear of not wanting to fear again.

One: What is the required word limit?

Two: I would much rather hear someones arguement/explanation then a yes or no response so I think a word limit is important to have.

I have not read much of Orwell's work so could you please explain to me why this opinion is true?

That said, George Orwell was a tin-eared hack who couldn't write his way out of a wet paper bag.

Drab and shitty to you probably becuase of his ideas about being clear and concise.

No, you dumbass. One can still be concise and yet respect and maintain the peculiar rhythms and cadences of the English language. Orwell doesn't. He is a boring writer as a result.
