nyc, you have noted the circular language, which is typical of the average forum fanatic. It's like your typical politician, no matter what country or party, who can talk for days about something, and actually say nothing. Was it Orwell who introduced the concept of doublespeak?
sort of yes, sort of not.
Orwell coined the phrase [i:b68283ccb0]newspeak[/i:b68283ccb0] , the updated form of language used by the party in [i:b68283ccb0]Nineteen Eighty-Four[/i:b68283ccb0] . he also coined [i:b68283ccb0]doublethink[/i:b68283ccb0] , a newspeak word meaning to think two contradictory thoughts at the same time, without experiencing cognitive dissonance.
