I'm only a stranger until you read my manifesto on the Oxford comma
You didn't provide a link for the manifesto.
Or say whether you were for or against.
Don't you judge me, stranger
Not judging. Just trying to provoke you into a multipage rant that expounds your position on the comma.
What about the Westminster Period?
My opinion of the Oxford Comma:
Never gonna give you up, let you down, run around, or desert you.
You cannot just stand there at the hibachi grill and look at your watch while I’m sitting here.
I’m hungry.
Fuckin’ cook something.
Show me that manifesto!
Please, please, please.
"Chronometer."
I've decided to help you out with the manifesto. Here is a working copy for you to edit as you wish.

Strangely enough, this comment forced me to read this for the first time. Took a bit. He was certainly no dummy. I take issue with some of it, but it's certainly a compelling read.
Kaczynski was right.
Maybe not in the whole bombing aspect, prolly not that, but this manifesto is worth its weight in gold.
Published in 1995. Kind of strange all these years later to read it and say, "Oh shit, he was right".
Meanwhile, ai turns the world into a giant turd, ruled by the nerd reich.
Yeah. Probably not the bombing part, though. Probably…
IMO anyone sympathetic to this CIA op trash is much better off reading Bookchin or Kropotkin. Not just good premises, good conclusions too.
I think you’re my cult leader.
Not sure how much longer it needs to be than "It improves clarity uaing a single comma and therefore is necessary."
I personally use the Oxford comma but I do agree with the people who think the sentence should probably just be rephrased to not need it.
