I don't think you have any business telling how my German should
sound. You just told I wrote German with egregious mistakes. Now
suddenly there are no egregious mistakes, just a style that you found
jarring. Well, you were supposed to find the style jarring.

Your German is over-ambitious, especially the first long
paragraph of your long reply from March 8, 2006, makes
your German stomp along, always in danger of falling.
You have too little to say, and are too much in love
with formalistic expressions.

Well, how would you like this one, then:

Wir haben hier schon lange die Nase voll von deinen Hirngespinsten,
Franz. Fakt ist, dass sie uns einen feuchten Kehricht interessieren,
und dass kein normaler Mensch mit deiner magdalenischen Sprache was
anfangen kann. Warum haust du nicht einfach ab? Die einzige Erklärung,
die mir einfällt, ist, dass du einfach nicht alle Tassen im Schrank
hast.
