Respect my lack of authority.
I've never, even the once, on this board, found need of an exclamation mark. I find people who find need of them stupid fucking cunts. Of all the unnecessary punctuation in the language English, this is the most offensive. I fucking hate its fucking guts. And I don't need an exclamation mark to re-enforce that.

I take on board your strong feelings about the use of the exclamation mark, and while I don't entirely agree with your sentiment, I do understand your desire to see this mark drastically reduced. The exclamation mark (!) should only be used where absolutely necessary. Other punctuations, such as comma (,) and fullstop (.), should be used more by many members of this board. Also, paragraphing should be practised more.
The general consensus is that most people using this board, or indeed the internet, should concentrate on studying the English language because their grasp of this very necessary communication tool is somewhat lacking. Being unable to express yourself properly is a severe handicap. If you cannot convey the proper feelings using the written word, you may as well give up even trying.
So, in true Chalice style, I will re-quote your phrase, omitting the offensive punctuation, which I hope will meet with your approval. If it doesn't, well, who gives a fuck anyway.

Surely, in that specific point of exclamation, we as exquisitely expressive animals, can muster our thoughts onto the internets with some eloquence (this is moot in the natural usage of any punctuation, ((see Idol)) and a decent image imagined will forgo everything).
Where is the need for a, fuck, dare I say it, bang? What cunt dreamt up that wankish expression? That just confirms its inadequacy. Fuck exclamation marks and fuck Idol and most of all, fuck all them baby-gnawing foxes. Coming into our homes, eating our babies' faces. What a pack of cunts.
Just like Rolf, your opinion has been reneged.

I am probably alone in my appreciation that another thread has taken the path less traveled.![]()
Predictability may be a good thing for snow tires but other than that ....
In that vein and now having watched one entire episode of Breaking Bad ,which punctuation aside obviously makes me an authority,I have formulated two theories of why like Lost/Heroes/Twin Peaks etc before it most people are so enamoured with it.
Of the two the one that I'm currently favouring is that you're all unbelievably ghey.
Except of course rart, who is believable ghey.![]()
