Well if I learned one thing it's that the most important aspect of writing isn't being understood or affecting people, it's being grammatically immaculate.

Everyone knows Stephen Fry visits this board. He fucks Tao Lin every now and then while Tybrax watches.

And that's not great use of a comma, pal.

No, I implied that two are important and the other isn't. Especially when you know what the rules are but simply choose not to follow them. In that case, the worst that can come of it is annoying people like you.

As I said, some of them are important. Did you catch what I implied this time?

>> No.1502955

I studied English Literature too. So what?

Stephen Fry is a idiot. The whole concept of QI is to be pedantic, wrong and oversimplify everything, just to get a sense of smugness.

Inb4 you disagree cuz you're butthurt

The only issue with QI is the next day after a showing everyone will come up to you saying 'did you know...' when we all watched the same episode!

I've read The Idiot by Stephen Fry and the Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie. It is nowhere near a masterpiece, but Fry is a far better writer.

Occasionally there's a topic that comes up I know a fair but about, and the answers and questions are such bullshit it's cringeworthy. There was one on "How many poles does the Earth have?"; every single geo research paper that has to will define one of an infinite number of arbitrary possible poles. There are not just 5, or whatever number it was the researchers pulled out of their arses.

Fucking factoids.

That's the exact response that Mark would give

Stephen Fry is an interesting character. He's clearly erudite; most quick witted and well read. But, interestingly, he's not completely comfortable with his homosexuality. He makes too much of a scene of it, the lady protesting too much. He really does have some fundamental identity issues.

But then again, don't we all?

>> No.1503085

>>1503077

I have to agree. I saw a debate with him and Hitchens vs some catholics and Hitchens was very outspoken in defending Fry's sexuality against the dogma of the church, where as I don't even remeber Fry mentioning it.
Must be hard to know where where to bring it up and where not to I suppose. Always easier to be an objective observer like Hitchens rather than having to deal with the issue daily like Fry.
But in all fairness I don't think anybody who likes Fry is bothered at all, like you said we all have our issues.
