Now I see it's just about a critique of Larry Evans' writing style,
something I am not interested in spending time on.

Have a nice thread, I'm tuning out.


This guy is *very* confused, or perhaps braindead.

The only criticisms of /writing style/ I've yet seen here are
those of the imbecile Larry Parr, who says he doesn't like
the style of Edward Winter, calling it "Victorianese", and if
memory serves, "turgid".

Nobody responded on that issue, since it was far afield of
the current discussion, an obvious attempt at diversion. For
the record, I think LP may be correct, but I would like to see
a side-by-side comparison of classic, turgid Victorianese
with random samples of Edward Winter's work. At any rate,
it is disappointing, to say the least, that LP was apparently
unable to unearth any factual gaffes or even spelling errors
with which to attack EW. I mean, going after his /style/ is
just a tad lame, in this context. LOL
