I disagree and think the writing is abysmally terrible, particularly compared to the numinous prose of the Authentic Text, but here again, that's just a difference of opinion. God-awful or not, your Corrupted Text isn't the Authentic Text, and readers have no way of knowing which things you made up, deleted, or re-wrote to suit your own agenda.

Whatever you say Chuck.

You are deluded.

Why am I so upset? Because you're making a joke out of the book. You're not reading it to understand. You're reading it to get a laugh at his expense. I think some parts are funny too, but at least I know what he was getting at. Do you? No.

There you go parroting his words in jest. Your posts are unproductive. When you have something meaningful to say, let me know.
