Narch and Hasanova are the Yin and the Yang of the d3football boards, mess with either and your life might disappear before your very eyes
"Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mighter than the sword."
Richelieu, [1839] Act II, scene ii Baron Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Sometimes I think narch has cloned himself so he's simultaneously both the Yin and the Yang, but I find it flattering we're both mentioned here.
The thing that separates narch, I think, from more pedestrian posters is his ability to analyze, reason and, then, present a lucid argument. It's not difficult, but most of us are too lazy to do our homework (both literally and figuratively). The differences between a sophomoric bit of twisted (and ultimately, doomed) logic and a compelling (and ultimately, convincing) argument can be as subtle as taking the time to look up definitions, putting punctuation marks where they belong, uncovering facts (what a concept!) and picking just the perfect word. It's not rocket science, but it is an art ... and narch is the
king of the "jumble"!It's true that this forum is about sports and not grammar, but it is about
college sports and I often wish more of us would write as though we'd picked up something along the way.
Olympic gold medal winners rarely make mistakes and have no wasted efforts. A great wordsmith does the same - every word matters - and sometimes less is more!
