Just who exactly is our new oracle DominiConnor????

[moondog]

I like it all.

not new has been posting for awhile

Hallo moondog :)

wow - you are smiling today moondog

or is that through gritted teeth?????

just google

No agenda VVV. Promise!
Hello Papillon!
How is the baby??

Are you serious, md??????

Well half joking..
I like his stuff!
Don't agree with it all but like it.
Also wonder where he gets the time to put it all down (bit like Peacedove)

Hmm
I enjoy MN for the fact that style is neither here nor there but content (usually) abounds

Me too Pruni.

I thought style was everything and helps carry off content.

baby very well MD charming the pants off everyone

It helps, papillon, but if you're going to post on a site chock full of bright, well-educated people (even if they are only women with 'soft' PhDs) then you'd better be sure the content is up to scratch, iykwim.

What is it that appeals Moondog?

quite profilic isn't he?

a man with a mission

Hmm,would describe it as intelligent right wing ideas....always refreshing I find.

I think he is a lapsed and bitter Catholic - poss an ex priest or seminarian

lol

deffo anti catholic.

i have to read everything he posts twice - becuase despite my university education he words things very arsily imo. and enjoys the fact that language used in that way can be both scarey and exclusive.

but he has an opinion thats for sure and isn't afraid of saying what he thinks - and i like that. too many people smoochy smooth brown nose

and incredibly anti-Irish.

He'll think we fancy him if he hears us talking about him like this

I think DominiConnor is female by the way?

only twice custardo

I think it's a writing style which implies what you have written is intellectually rigorous but is in fact verbiage.

He he, I want to sit him down like one of my students and say 'Now DC, there is a lot of good stuff in what you write but you have a tendency to generalise, and your writing style sometimes gets in the way of what you're trying to say.'

Yay, now I've out-patronised DC!

Ah that's a bit mean!
He might go overboard semantically and syntactically but at least it's coherent,unlike some of the half witted urban prole type English used here all to frequently.

'too frequently'

Yeah, but he does generalise, and I do think he'd convince more people if he wrote more clearly - he does make good points which get lost.
Wouldn't dream of pulling to pieces any other Mumsnetter's writing style like this but I'm sure DC can take it

Fairymum - why do you think DC is female?

No definitely male fairymum
