Your way wouldn't make it any less redundant.
Sure it would. Obviously both Strunk and White would eagerly jockey for position to punch the copy editor in the *******, but that's beside the point.
You're talking about style then though, not redundancy, aren't you then, though?

Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? Gay. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.
