As one who can barely remember his 50′s, I would love to believe that I am still wrapped up in leftover teen angst. One thing you and I can agree upon, however, is that envy is a terrible thing.

Really, Dr. Rich? Step away from the cutsey Victorian mannerisms. Dr.Rich's catechism of cliche: "scandalized into virtual apoplexy;" "abject minions of the forces of evil;" "we musn’t be too sanguine;" "yet another clear and unmistakable sign of the End Times;" "imagine ways of circumventing the legions of stone-witted, soul-eating bureaucrats now being prepared (Sauron-like) to descend;" "break the bonds of servitude." Stop with the word salad from bad teen fantasy lit. Uuuugggghhh! Writing in the third person? Really, Dr. Rich? Step away from the cutsey Victorian mannerisms.

Dr.Rich’s catechism of cliche:

“scandalized into virtual apoplexy;” “abject minions of the forces of evil;” “we musn’t be too sanguine;” “yet another clear and unmistakable sign of the End Times;” “imagine ways of circumventing the legions of stone-witted, soul-eating bureaucrats now being prepared (Sauron-like) to descend;” “break the bonds of servitude.”

Stop with the word salad from bad teen fantasy lit.

Uuuugggghhh!

Dr.Rich and Orac are both terrible writers. Where is my blue pencil? Guys, vocabulary alone does not overcome the undeniable whiff of envy and loneliness still emanating from awkward teen years. Move on and leave the urge to get back at the cool kids behind. You are cool yourself now, so act and write like it, please. This studied snarkiness is beneath you and mighty tedious to the mentally healthy. *Sigh* While I don’t cotton to alt med, the overripe condescension and overwrought prose of practitioner-bloggers such as Dr.Rich and Orac [the typoed "Orec" above] are perhaps even more annoying and affected.
