I'm not being a "smart ass." I genuinely found your comment difficult to sift through and had to reread it multiple times. It's a barrier to understanding and important to clarify. If your comments cannot be easily understood, then it defeats the purpose of commenting, and it's ultimately your own responsibility to try to speak more clearly. I was just trying to make sure I was understanding what you were saying the way you said it.

And there's nothing wrong with the way I construct sentences and paragraphs; I use words I think are appropriate in a sentence, and not specifically "big words." I communicate the way I communicate and I write the way I write, and the words I use can be found in most any dictionary of the English language. I prefer to err on the side of eruditeness rather than ambiguity, because there can be no dictionary for words that are not even said.

As for my commentary on the TMNT works, I have been reading or watching various incarnations of TMNT for decades now, and I'm entitled to express my opinions on shows, comics, characters, stories, and so forth. It is literary criticism. I am not a creator and I have never pretended to be one. On the contrary, I study and accumulate knowledge and trivia of the TMNT topics that interest me, because I am a long-time fan. And, at the very least, it also helps improvement one's Turtlepedia editing.
