Absolutely no idea what this reply means...
examples
ie the point you made in regard to grammar was perceived by the poster..in this case me as missing the point. I was objecting [tongue in cheek] not to the grammatical use of the punctuation but its stylistic use.
macro memes of that style are often or mainly free of punctuation..its a tradition if you like.
the effect is one of slight dissidence in regards to language... ie it is not completely spelt out. this also creates a delayed affect which adds something [not sure what but thats the ineffable nature of art/culture i guess] the idea is like its an in joke but everyone is in on it
the joke here was to counterpose the notion of grammar Nazi vs macro meme Nazi which is a double joke at the expense of macro meme cultural expression because it suggests that its radical "hip" nature is every bit as formalised as proper queens english... hence defanging its subversive pretentions
it loses comedic timing somewhat in the explanation
basically you haven't missed anything
