Right, time to finish this.
"Instead of that weirdo irritating us all the time, I say we kill him."
This is how it was originally written.
This is how Your Honour thinks it should be written.
"Instead of that weirdo, irritating us all the time, I say we kill him."
Now... surely it DOESN'T need a comma? Please, discuss and argue this.
I know this is a pointless topic... but I don't think this one is going to make much of a difference to the already made mountains of rubbish topics...

I thought it was just a sentence, not two different posts....
There are four uses for the comma:
1) It goes before the conjunction that joins two independent clauses: I like him, and he likes me.
Not applicable to this case
2) It separates items in a series: I am studying geology, ecology, and sociology.
Not applicable to this case.
3) A set of commas acts as parentheses around a non-restrictive clause or phrase.
Not applicable in this case
4) It sometimes follows an introductory word or phrase: Smiling, she handed me a gift.
Not applicable in this case
Therefore,* the comma is not needed in this case.
*Notice subtle use of point 4 here.

Actually, YH is right!!
If you read the actual 2 posts, you will see that YH is right.

Look, I started this whole thing.
I pointed out that if you read the 2 posts by me and Grix which put the sentence together, it makes no sense at all.
I wasn't talking about a comma!! I'm saying that in the story Meka was replying to something I said, and he was talking about me, so how does, "that weirdo irritating..." make sense???
This is what it's all about, not a damn comma!!
Even with the comma it doesn't make sense!!

Hey Grix your smile character reminds me of James Pond...
See. How dare he think I'm not right.

Yh is.... wrong, there is no need for a comma between weirdo and irritating.
If you read it out loud it sounds ridiculous with a pause in the middle.

I have been onto the BBC askateacher and have been told that the sentence is gramatically correct without the comma......
