Form versus content:
Sav, I believe we have had this discussion before.
I maintain it is about striking a balance between the two, in a way that both the writer and the reader can enjoy. The writer should have the ability to express his personal style without impairing the reader's ability to understand and process the content.
Your florid vocabulary sometimes obscures content. It makes your writing difficult/challenging to understand and enjoy (and you know I enjoy it even though I mutter about it). I suppose it comes down to: who/what are you writing for or to? For your own pleasure? To express your ideas/thoughts/feelings in a cogent fashion? To engage in dialogue? To showcase your vocabulary?
Have you considered taking a Uni level English writing course? Your English is obviously good enough and I know you love language and words. Why not have someone qualified** to guide you through your journey of prose? I think this is an excellent idea, so don't dismiss it out of hand. Make some inquiries Savvy.
You, moj drogi, have a soul of a poet.
qualified*** - you harbour certain prejudices about ivory tower "inteligentsia". You need to get over it. If I had had the opportunity to share a drink with you, believe me I would have harangued you about this mercilessly my friend and countered EVERY silly argument you would have put forward. In fact, I probably would have kicked your sorry *ss to the University myself.
I have a unique way of showing I like someone don't cha think? :)
