This article talks about the sublimal rendition of The Power Of Love by Celion Dion in her live Boston gig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbO3dfF9uuE

What makes the legend of Celine is that nothing seems to faze her. What I really meant was she has either got no nerves, or nerves of steel. Right at the beginning of her show, the look of pure confidence in her smile, expression, and especially in her bearing, you could unmistakably tell she embodies a model WINNING attitude!

It’s as if she'd already succeeded and won over the crowd, and wouldn't have to sing a word given a choice. This magnet is what I’m most attracted to in Celine, who also unsurprisingly commands a following in the billions.

With that one of a kind charisma, it spills over into her vocal chords and tones and infects it powerfully beyond compare. Whitney doesn’t come within a yard!

Sure it takes a certain natural physical talent, but that isn’t worth a cent without meticulous nurturing of her psyche---attitudes, perspectives about herself and her relationship with the song she composes, sings, presents, and those with her audiences and how she affects them emotionally, spiritually. In short, Celine and music are one in the same!! That is the only way you observe the mercurial manner she exudes, and what sets her apart from the jockeying pack of singers.

If you'd closely examine Celine's disposition, you'd further find a certain too ATTRACTIVE feminine vivacity, that is IMPOSSIBLE for most of today's striving female singers or simply everyday women to replicate, while equally impossible for me, a masculine, to resist!

This bestowed trump card is seen beside her external voice in her whole internal package, for which her gift of voice stemmed of the gift of a truly marvellous feminine soul! The gift of Bolt speed had stemmed equally of the gift of a hardcore internal drive to constantly challenge the physical frontiers of what is possible.

It had to turn out that all physical gifts are those of some kind of mind-sets, spirit-sets, needed to propel mercuriality, or so called ‘genius’.

If only Celine had my age or thereabouts, now, lived just across the street, events might have developed much more differently, matrimonially to be precise, as I imagine I'd be more than spellbound spectator to delightful romantic companion!

Take me away Celine!

THE CHRONICLES OF MARK: THE HIMALAYAN, THE WISEMAN, AND THE SERPENT'S POTION

This article hopes to be next-in-line for development of C.S Lewis' epic tales. Contact my profile if you want me to write the instalment.

During the last ES2007s lesson today, my paid tact team of Greg and Ahmed silently worked their deception on students and teacher of Group 10, while I role-played the overtly vocal master illusionist, to everyone's complete oblivion, and of course amusement. I was glad to have planned and worked out with Greg and Ahmed some time in the semester on this particular act; it was the culmination of verbal and especially nonverbal skills they and I learned all this while, and what better way than to put it to the test by literally deceiving our ES2007s friends and teacher.

They say that no success comes without planning and teamwork, my relative success in spell-binding students and teacher today hung on the thread of Greg's and Ahmed's oaths to never reveal their identities to ES2007s students and teacher before now, as I write this post in revelation. Due to such allegiance to the art of deception, every ES2007s student and teacher today were given a great display of theatre, and, street magic, and due in whole to their lack of foreknowledge of my tact team's wile. My heartfelt thanks again to my tact team-mates Greg and Ahmed. Next time, if I give another performance, I will enlist your help again, cool?

Some of the highlights of today's magic act included Susan's incredulity at watching two black playing cards changing into red ones right in her hands, Luqman's insistence I always had a 'ghost' whenever I flipped over and displayed a playing card, which might or might not have always been true, and Chuan Ting's and Hwee Teng's mouths agaped, whenever I grabbed a silver coin out of thin air. Even our teacher was unbelieving every time I pulled a silver out of nowhere from out of Jake's skin or Luqman's sleeve, not knowing that Greg and Ahmed were the backstage linchpins making the magic, and the deception work, by making all the 'professional' distraction and side-track, which to our relief nobody found amissed, which was good because that showed that we three are probably now profound masters of nonverbal and verbal communication!

When I pulled a spectator's chosen card out of our teacher's back trouser pocket in just over 3 seconds, out of a boxed, completely shuffled deck, without having seen the card at all, and without even making any effort to search for it, that was the ultimate reinforcement to how well myself, Ahmed, Greg, learned about professional communication this semester.

In my final act, with Greg and Ahmed lurking behind the scenes teleporting (invisible) props from a distance of five to six tables across, I disappeared a silver in my left palm right under the noses of Hwee Teng and Susan, which had of course been teleported back invisibly to Greg and Ahmed. When it was relayed back to me again to prepare for the revelation, the two girls were quick enough to chance upon its silver sparkle in hidden transit beneath my concealing fingers and palm, running from behind to in front of my other fingers, palm and wrist at breakneck speed and back trying to show my hands were clean, as if they had also some magnetic ability to hold the silver against gravity!

The truth of the silver sparkle: either Hwee Teng and Susan had one pizza too many each, causing much blood to be drawn away to their gut, leaving none for their corneas, which then resulted in monkey-vision and an inability to perceive reality accurately; the other possibility would be that I had innate and superb anti-gravity infrastructure installed in my somatosensory system, a gift of touch, and that made the silver adhered so obediently to my hands whichever way I swung it, turned it and twisted.

Whichever the explanations were, Hwee Teng and Susan, as well as the rest of my classmates who saw various other confounding acts, will at least be stuck in eternal wonder, the way I intended for it to be, while I try to understand what is wrong with why the silvers seemed to know how to conceal and adhere themselves so ingeniously, and don't seem to get rid of me no matter how hard I try to get it to.

Could magic be in fact real? You bet one kind of magic commands all the rest of other magic, and is truly real, sovereign, and always will be! Me and my tact team haven't really tested those boundaries of fact and fiction, yet, and if we never do, it is because that sovereign good that exists that overcame evil at long last, and we three thankfully lost our guile!


One deception, one tact team!

ACING THE FOREBODING PRESENTATION

This article hopes to make the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Harvard Business Review. Contact me with the email in the profile if you would like to express a deal or contract.

Address: Below are my final comments universal to every single local and international teacher and student in communication skills, originally intended for a groupmate Vanessa, and given in the comments section of her blogpost as well. For that, the post is styled in letter correspondance.

 

Hey Vanessa,

I would like to give you more specific feedback on your oral presentation right here!

Volume and Inflection

Volume is no issue with you! Variation of volume is! This is key to making your audiences attracted to you and your ideas, to their persuasion and finally their full marriage!!!

Loud, soft, loud, soft. When it comes to important points you want to emphasize, lower your volume, slow down your speed, and furrow your brow and strain your eyes!!! That's how expert presenters exude persuasion and grip your attention, because you are an emotional being and you will be star-strucked and affected by subtle variations of facial and voice appearances.

When it comes to not so important points, speak in a little louder volume and faster with a straight face.

Also, as I was teaching Greg and Ahmed the other day, it's not so much that the problem of your voice is soft and weak, because personally it's your inherent ADVANTAGE as a feminine, to make voicetones of a soprano nature, as compared to alto for men; instead it's the way in which you articulate and enunciate your words.

Elocution

The best place to learn professional world class articulation and enunciation is from standup comedy acts by famous comedians. Though comedians are no presenters like those in the professional workplace, their ability to expressly enunciate and articulate words is first class!!! Youtube has many American and British comedy acts, so study them and then mimic. Dont't worry if you find male comedians too different, there are female ones as well.

In addition, when you learn to expressly articulate and enunciate, you will also naturally sound more ENERGETIC and POWERFUL. Don't ask me how it happens, it just is the case, look at Simon Sinek and the video I showed you and Greg the other day, look at the way their teeth show and their jawlines bounce about so violently----that is what I want for you and everyone else. Articulation and enunciation! With these comes POWER, ENERGY, STRENGTH, PERSUASION!!!

Of course you will need equally powerful and loaded gestures whenever it's required in your presentation, at important points you want to emphasize. Again, looking at the video I showed you and Greg the other day, try to show your fist to the audience when you want to make marriage with them, tilt your head and point your finger at some wall away from your audience when you want to make reference to a group of people or things, wink your eyes when you want to express some witty idea, nod your head up and down when you want to express agreement with what you say, shake your head left and right when you want to express otherwise, by all means show even your middle finger if the presentation environment, situation, topic, content calls for it.

I've seen countless presenters (not only comedians) make what would be considered rude gestures all in the name of showmanship, because these gestures precisely grip your EMOTIONAL senses so strongly by virtue of your every socialization.

Two things only ever make greater persuasion or more compelling presentation: articulation and gesture, NOTHING ELSE!

All persuasion, energy, confidence, eye contact, passion, creativity, power, strength, attraction, blown-away and even relaxation, comes from these 2 values only, supposing you have taken care of the content, organization and structure and all of its 7Cs, and you know your stuff at the tip of your fingers, tongue, and cranium!

Relaxation and Gut Power

A note about staying relax goes like this: channel your Self ---suicidal doubts and tendencies, stress, nervousness, fear, anxiety, tremble, into the POWER AND VARIANCE OF YOUR ARTICULATION AND GESTURE!!! If you have to 'lose it', lose to powerful articulation and gesture, not gut worm!  But you must WANT inside you to have this power and variance, because you want in your heart so absolutely to be heard, want to make a severe but positive change on your audience. In that way, you wouldn't lose your energy to excessive stress, anxiety or nerves, you would instead feel a useful and energy-efficient honor, sort of altruistic feeling, something that you are doing something for somebody else in need, not yourself and not selfish, and that is when you are most effective because you are energy-efficient, when you are so convicted of heart that your destinies are intertwined with that of others, and you couldn't just let them down, so you would convincingly, because FEARLESSLY, STRESSLESSLY, and therefore powerfully also, engage your audiences!

The group of people from whom you can learn fearless, relaxation, stressless is PASTORS!!! Yes pastors, you heard me right, or other religious teachers with similar tenacity.

If you've seen how really good pastors are, they have how much power, persuasion, energy, for their congregation and the Word of God, which is they display such strong conviction of purpose and exhortation for their Godly beliefs. That grave need to do something for their congregation (and for God), almost to rescue them, is that which makes persuasive, effective presenters, speakers. Pastors have great content, organization and structure too, they learnt all that in seminary! But of course it can be argued that pastors have that divine inspiration (or help from God) which made the persuasive and effective way they are. That's a touchy issue, and I won't go into that, but the main point was to learn from pastor's mien!

With all these carrots, you will sway your audience with the organic ease and natural of turn tides!

Take control of your audiences today, take (lose) control of your Self first!

THE FOREBODING ORAL PRESENTATION: A CLOSER REFLECTION

This article hopes to make the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Harvard Business Review. Contact me with the email in my blog profile if you express interest in a deal.

As I thought and evaluated deeper about my presentation, I felt I looked like somebody selling cupcakes and sherbets on some wary pavement street in Gaylang---and that was how terrible I thought I persuaded my audiences. Really, I was thoroughly undone with my performance.:[

It seemed I lacked bodily testosterone, my gestures seemed unmanly and lacked deciding or winning strength, power, energy, like that of Simon Sinek's. I wondered if it's anything got to do with me not having ate breakfast or lunch up till that point of the day, and only had apple and lots of water all day, as I always do. My voice told it all----that I lost all my testosterone to lack of fuel, with the result that I made sounds that were frankly deathly! That is to me so shocking and disappointing! But I'm not about to change my eating habits just now, or maybe the sounds I make are innate, in which case I am even more disappointed with myself.

But all is not lost for me I feel, I think I can still learn to intentionally make the sounds I want more emphatically, I still habor hope I can sound as powerfully good and persuasive as Simon Sinek, my demi-god in world class presentation propriety, right now!!!


If anyone felt persuaded by my soft, effeminate presentation, you still have time to change your minds. I didn't sell you URA, I sold you cupcakes and sherbets, and too affordable ones, you were hoodwinked by a choiceless fraud, a Simon disguise, wanna-be, failed terribly.


Go to Simon instead, he has the real cupcakes and sherbets; learn from Simon instead, he has all the keys to the art of presentation. As for female fellow coursemates, you might need a female 'model' of presentation, and I can't seem to think of anyone striking, but if I find, and like, one, I'll tell all of you girls from my blog here!


Hey I'm not sexist, male chauvinist or any of their aliases, I only feel that feminine has her own set of 'proper', 'correct', and 'world-class' presentation rules, which must not get mixed up with largely male-driven ones in our world, but still the underlying and fundamental presentation principles stay the same regardless of gender house. Feminine needs to learn to use her feminine strengths and traits to her advantage, just as masculine has his own, and these advantages are exactly advantages because they are mutually exclusive to gender.

By standout feminine strength or trait, I don't mean anywhere close to femme fatale or distorted views of bionic woman single-handedly overcome the world, rather, she finds her rest in liveliness, gentleness, delicacy, anticipation, mindfulness, quick-thinking, the same uplifting values that generally work for male subjects, and for anywhere from presenting to broking.


"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”

Knowing the general fundamentals of presentation is intelligent acting; knowing your gender fundamentals of presentation is good wisdom. Mastering the general fundamentals of presentation takes some strength; mastering the gender fundamentals of presentation is true POWER!!!

Do you want power, do you want persuasion, do you want convincing, do you want complete control of your audiences inside out, themselves gender culturalized? If so, you must master into the microscope of presentation---its gender!

The only problem, scant literature on female presentation grooming besides superficial dressing style exist, actually, few literature on male presentation grooming exist either, with the result that we are made to do with nothing more than a one size fits all, monolithic, tight and sometimes uncomfy, ideology, that isn't always watertight.

Boys and girls ideally learn grooming by mimic, of expert boys and girls, but by specializing, creating, growing your own small personal haven of references on gendered presentation grooming, I like to think you couldn't be for the worst!

THE FOREBODING CONSCRIPT IN ES2007S

The following responds to an article by the teacher on the state of conscript toughness in Singapore, and discussions of its journalism and beyond.

This is precisely what I don’t want to be embroiled in, teacher.


Journalism, and the media nowadays, are becoming a scourge of our time. Every once in a short while, they have to find perverse amusement in needless chastisement. It all started in 18th century Renaissance England, and even earlier; instead of finding more creative means of self-expression through journalism, those voyeurs got into the creative business of finding the richest, quickest and most shattering means of exposing bad behavior. Oh, I didn’t know Singapore’s journalism sank to such dreadful standards huh!? Of sex, betrayal, murder, deceit, gossip, God knows how many more.

Not to say journalism (as pertaining to every country in this world) is completely swallowed up in frivolity, but you have the aristocrats, bourgeoise, and the haggards, just as you would find in any order of society. The aristocrat raises your moral, intellectual strength, the bourgeoise is undecided for what values to support and promote, and is becoming more susceptible to the agency of the third as he becomes disillusioned with the material wealth of the aristocrats, who mostly are high-ranking government proxies; and as for the haggard, his columns dominate front pages of the Telegraph and New York Times everywhere, his graphics grip your carnal attention as good as those in ‘No Pants Day’, or better.

Martin Luther King had a dream that until all men’s laws were consistent with laws of a higher order, will we live in a just world: I, Mark, have a dream that until all subordinate classes of reporting uphold the fraternity of all humankind will we live in a proactive, non-zero-sum world.

Frankly, the teacher is asking the non-verbal obvious here, which netizens have already deemed as ‘soft’ and ‘weak’, making the military just as ‘soft’ and ‘weak’. How else is a small island-nation going to have any political, economic, social muscle, not to say military, if it doesn’t try to appear to have one. While that is warped logic, the fact is our world is obsessed with putting a face on every thing and body.

THE FOREBODING RETROSPECTION ASSESSMENT 6

*P.S. For the information of teacher and students who are going to comment on this post, take note that part of the content in this final post correlates very closely with content and comments in the first 3 posts on your right drop down menu for the month of April; so if you are lost as to what, or who, why, where, how I am making reference to anything; or suddenly have this feeling I’m out of my mind, you should read and try to get a grip of those 3 posts first, if you haven't already done so, despite your time constraints.

The most worthy communication principle I gained from the semester was not concise itself, as much as self-interested people want other people to be concise, so much that they will go to foreboding blackmail extents to make it a reality!! In which case, there is truth to that obscure axiom in the back of my mind, which says people tend to behave in all sorts of ‘funny’ ways when stressed, by the concise in this case; and then have that stupidity unknowingly projected on others. Now I have great understanding for such a propensity under duress; which is why I can plainly analogize as such, because I know how badly I can be reduced to too. For that, there are takeaway lessons three-ways for course-mates, teacher and individual; but I’ll discover just one meaningful point in the last one.

Certainly concise has no value other than the people in authority or otherwise make sense of, which happened to be 250 words to an assessment; and that is very much like how professional communication only takes on value when its spiritual leader is the emotional rather than analytical domain of people, and becomes valuable only when it has been interpersonally, inter-culturally, identified with the needs of human emotions culture-wide.

As it turns out, the foreboding concise issue had been disguised for a people one, for whom insist those other self-interests over mine must always win the day: but without equity of settlement of these disputes (moderation), no people bias is possible!!!

Muchas gracias senoras y senores,

Muchos Besitos tambien!

With this final post, I don’t, and know I don’t need to prove a point; I don’t even need a point, but I will still show you for your sake that I can do the concise to the bull's eye, by virtue I'm going to act in the manner I urged, as a good example to follow, that is most like equity of settlement; I don’t think my point has 250 words and extras; count the words not in yellow and green will you!

THE FOREBODING PRESENTATION ASSESSMENT 5

Gosh, can anybody feel and show any sympathy at all? I'm at the test of the devil, of one foreboding after another; first the emotional blackmail, then the profaned sex, then the implicit disaffectation of my teacher and classmates, and now the oral presentation. Could I really, on my own, engineer my own demise? No man is an island, so as surely I had the help of Brad and fellow course-mates!!!

Even for the worst part, I can proudly say I was the least understood out of the 4 speakers, or so I think, because not one person could find good words to, what would ordinarily to baronial audiences have been a crystal clear, and poignant analogy, between the rescue mission in the tsunami and the one in the sea of problem gamblers. In a word, their tears at the close would be token evidence of sure understanding of the problem’s context.

Again the only bad that materialized about my concluding role: it didn't draw the sort of epiphanic emotions from the audiences; while in the good I made sure I stuck, do or die, beg, steal or borrow, with the aristocratic ambience, in locution and moderation, of the likes of National Broadcasting Company and British Broadcasting Corporation, because theirs is of good patronage. I’m happy for these things I did to reasonable extents thus!

But Brad found no part in the presentation asking ‘how’ and ‘what’ to do with the proposal. If it wasn’t clear in the 3 other speakers, I might not have been able to do anything about it, but if it wasn’t in my part, that is unpardonable when I made three explicit statements all starting with “I want you to do this”.

THE SIPHONING FOREBODING IN ES2007S

Heaven knows what happened to me this last few weeks of the semester.

Coming to the end of semester, I cannot quite believe ES2007s class' proceedings and emotions are become more ominous. If you had read the previous 2 articles this month: first I suffered the foreboding of an emotional blackmail by coursemates, then I suffered, though not as much, the foreboding of profaned sex, and now (can you believe it?) I'm whipped with this other foreboding of disaffectation with what and how I write about on blogs and social media platforms. Fact is my ES2007s coursemates and even Professor Brad  (recent word of mouth), are getting ill with the way I express my ideas (ie. language expression, excluding prose-like blog-posts) on facebook, and its length.

The single most important cause why that has happened was because I have all this 3 months sought to treat professional communication from the ‘why’ standpoint of view, while the rest might have thought it more appropriate to talk about the ‘how’ and ‘what’. The ‘why’ necessarily correlates closely with the philosophy of professional communication, which is why I give all my ‘whys’ in the linguistic style AND LENGTH of that philosophy, because doing otherwise will distort both the fundamental content of the ‘whys’ as well as its edifying value. When classmates claim such linguistic styles are pretentious, I simply don’t get it.(recent word of mouth).

The ‘why’ also happened incidentally to correlate with Simon Sinek’s admonition to engage your audiences, social circle of friends, and everybody you will ever meet in terms of the ‘why’, and what you belief, because he says that is only way the interpersonal, intercultural, interview, oral presentation will achieve conviction, substance and therefore excellence. Well he is right, and if I have been trying to achieve his vision of a successful professional communication through its ‘whys’ rather than ‘hows’ and ‘whats’, I couldn’t be that far away from being right too. It might be simply nobody can see virtue in the ‘whys’ of professional communication and its linguistic styles, which would  frame the ‘hows’ and the ‘whats’.

Consider this angle: there are 2 types of people, the first type follows blindly, the second follows wisely. The kind of people in the former are only interested in ‘how’ and ‘what’, in other words their minds operate completely in the automatic/limbic mode, devoid of critical thinking. Of course modern human beings are generally a mixture of ‘why’, and ‘how’ and ‘what’ types of people. The kind of people in the second type like to have their minds operate more critically and questionably, and the likelihood they will find conviction, value, excellence whether in professional communication or otherwise is higher, because these people will not be accepting wholesale, without differentiation and order, the lessons and values learn in ES2007s; in other words they are voluntarily, not naturally, selective of information they will admit into their basket of skills and know-hows. It is hopefully the second type of people can raise the standards of the people closer to the first type, both in terms of linguistic styles, and their knowledge or ‘why’ cores.

Again there is nothing wrong with treating professional communication or any other subject from the superficial ‘how’ and ‘what’ points of view, and there is nothing wrong if Brad or my fellow classmates have absolutely no interest when I go into a sermon on the ‘whys’ or when I use the linguistic styles and even punctuation norms, such as having a colon before the word ‘but’ and ‘so’ when explaining something, of such academic philosophies: but that is good for a great diversity of views; and nobody should feel disaffected with all my written work because I go into all my writing with the lowest expectations in terms of replies and comments, and I don’t coerce anyone in terms of  these: in fact I don’t expect anyone would read either, because I write for charity and not for self-esteem.

This is the SIMPLEST style of writing, grammatically and structurally sound, I can ever manage, and if anybody still thinks I used bombast words, I’m probably just too daft to write any simpler!

I cannot wait for the semester to end sooner, for all the foreboding reasons, and I'm embarrassed to say it came to such a closing..............

THE SEXUAL FOREBODING IN ES2007S

I just finished watching Black Swan (2011)---the movie Brad briefly mentioned about in ES2007s class the other day, and somebody else (quite a few) in class pitching the movie as great and must-watch of the year. Thinking the movie taught noble lessons of life and therefore persuaded, I downloaded an online version of the movie free of charge and to my horror discovered a sordid mess of graphic emotional and sexual blackmail!! Some of you have seen it, there’s no removing the brain degenerating sludge-fest, for those who haven’t, you don’t ever, ever want to commit blind martyrdom with your set of eyes, gifted and sacred.

It’s hard to feel proud for Miss Portman of Harvard once upon a time; it’s hard to be moved into solidarity now with the Oscar-deserving benchmarks she set herself; it’s even harder for me to reconcile her time in clean-cut Victorian gentility scripts, which doesn’t seem all that long ago in the Star-based series, to the present prima donna struck comatose by the witch spell of carnal Hollywood.

Question was did the cash-stocked ledgers and promises of middle-rags to riches by Hollywood highway do so well to cajole her underwriting the contract for the role? Or was she, in still a young career trying to perhaps make the totem pole of the likes of the sensational Licole Kidman, titillating Pate Winslet, and sensuous Daomi Watts, been a victim of blackmail herself, of underside favors and drawer cash.

Why of all scripts Miss Portman chose to rocket her Oscar stardom, she picked; had to be coerced, or otherwise, the unconstitutional blackmail part, for which I played victim to a few days back recently, and suffered sutured emotional scars. As if blackmail ordinarily hadn’t caused her enough mental, moral ill, she probably found more dignity and honor, or more fulfillment of self in enacting the blackmail of a profane sexual nature.

In the film, one senses her gift of feminine sexuality debased, dismantled, suffused with, commodified in carnal cross-cuts, which falsely herald her sexual violability as essential femininity, when it is really both SEXUAL BLACKMAIL and mistaken power.

To grab the Oscar with such a prurient subject is not too proud headliner, except if it is one for your negated sensual tastes.

The lyric that went God Save the Queen is compelling enough today for God Save our Portman!

Oscar now goes to……….

Cheers

THE FOREBODING IN ES2007S

The devil has revealed itself. The fraternity of ES2007s' students had a devious turn of ideas. Yesterday, they conspired a blackmail attempt on me, a fraternity member, for the rambling blasphemous texts they thought I wrote on the ES2007s portal. These are ES2007s' darkest times yet. Below is a cry of utter distress:

Gosh, can any game be called a game we intuitively know it to be if it is so depressive?!!?!? Few games live up to such a billing as the Game Of Death (2010); and I can't believe I'm roped into one? But knowing myself very well, I cannot write what I need to say in fewer sentences until I'm completely sure I've said it how it needs to be said?

This is not a test of conciseness so much as it is a test of your reasoning faculties, because if it is then all of the best New York Time's and The Telegraph's editors need to take classes in conciseness? NO, that couldn’t be the case?? Rather, there is a concise for every genre of writing; and as you would see I’m writing closer to academic genre or style, not the facebook one, it is pretty concise when academic texts are upwards of 50 pages??

Wasn’t the intention of setting up such a portal of professional communication in the very beginning to facilitate academic discussion? If replies can be as simple as 3 lines, we could just exchange phone numbers and start a texting revolution??

Again I think this is not a test of conciseness so much as it is a test of logic and reason, which needs writing to be content rather than rule-based for there to be any useful exchange of knowledge and learning?? This is not to say too I haven’t learnt how to be concise at all?

Honestly, ignoring me might be good, but knowing about myself in this respect, would not be good enough at all?? Very frankly, somebody, maybe Brad, needs to manually remove or block me from the portal???
