The comma isn't a punctuation error.

CORRECT: "You're a retard, John."
INCORRECT: "You're a retard John."

CORRECT: "I think you may have eaten paint chips as a kid, by the way."
INCORRECT: "I think you may have eaten paint chips as a kid by the way."

CORRECT: "The prosecution rests, Your Honor."
INCORRECT:

Right but sir I implore you to look at the specific way he uses said punctuation. Now if you do a search, or read through random threads here, you'll notice that it's very rare that another poster uses this punctuation. Sure, it's seen from time to time, but not in every single post. That similiarity is only seen in two specific posters. The similarity is in his excessive use of said punctuation. Always word, word. Even when it is not necessary.

I punctuate like that very commonly. I'm not saying you're wrong or that your observations are without merit, I was just pointing out that the punctuation "error" you're uncovering isn't an error at all, and perhaps doesn't cement your case in quite as much since he's simply using proper (enough) grammar.

On the other hand, and given that this is the internet, almost everyone abandons grammar in favor of writing like an idiot, u no wut i mean rite lol?????

Just as an aside: what else would you expect infront and behind of the comma?

bullshit...there are far more than two posters that know how to use a comma correctly.

your "word, word" evidence is about as solid as a monkey's shit after he ate too many grapes. (its pretty loose.)
