I insist you show me where a comma would go in that statement.
I get that the painters are always in for you but the comma really doesn't make sense
Before a name comes a comma…even in English, you wannabe-Scot.
But need to give it to you that your English is better than mine,
Juanita

No Tara
Firstly your name was at the end of the sentence where you seem to think a comma should go, which is incorrect.
Secondly there is no rule to place a comma before and/or after a name - it can be done but can look feeble and illiterate if not done well.
Lastly, a comma is used to create a minor pause in a sentence structure. One that, if used properly, can distract the reader enough to understand there is a subtext to the overall message (One which needn't be placed within brackets).
I'm not here to correct your English or pull you up for trying to modify other people's use of language, just letting you know that what you have learned is not a standard that anyone who writes professionally would follow
The rule of three dictates another no from me but instead, you get the upgrade

Discuss the comma with
MachoManCin2
intensively and extensively.
I don't have time for your **** right now.
"The rule of three"
is mathematics while my OP is about Musk and his Tesla factory.

Depends upon which "Rule of three" you are talking about, also - if you don't mind - after opening quotation marks a capital letter is expected as the first letter of the following word

There was a
"capital letter"
after opening quotation marks in my last post.
From the beginning (no editing).
Means, you complain about a mistake where there was none.
Play your stupid games with someone else, Juanita. ☻
If you have anything else to say, say something on the OP-topic.
Otherwise shut up, you annoying toad.

Sorry munchkin, I was away. I didn't realise you had more time, a matter which you stated in your most recent comment in this thread prior to the one I a replying to
There was a "capital letter" after opening quotation marks in my last post.
Are you trying to be cute?
Why would I make up such a thing as you not using a capital t?
Either you edited it or it is time to bring out the tinfoil hats about someone purposefully altering your post and then correcting it
Furthermore, that is not a toad
That is a frog

Unlike you, I don't lie.
There's no toad-emoji.
Eat this one,

You still didn't digest it, you resentful little MachoMan.
It's not enough for you to overrun me with Lala wherever you see a post from me. You're a sore loser.
For others:
It all started with his
'hilarious'
OP about Kathy Griffin.
https://www.filmboards.com/board/t/Kathy-Griffin-is-a-failed-comic,-a-vicious-****,-and-an-ugly-skank.-3417249/
MachoMan is a Free Speech's fan and I dared to claim Free Speech for Kathy Griffin too.
Even worse, I cracked the extremely evil (!) joke about our chancellor (decapitate him).
MachoMan created several hate threads (Hitler, stupid Nazis, stupid Germans).
Calling me repeatedly a
"blood thirsty bitch"
. ☻
Particularly amusing cause MachoMan is a staunch supporter of the death penalty.

Don't trigger Mr. Kerr. The Brits say "Full Stop."
BTW, I use the Oxford comma in sentences, phrases, and insults.

Not to worry Drake, Tara couldn't trigger me even on her best day
I have no problem with people using commas as they see fit, I just think that they should be more aware of how they are used by others prior to telling the world the absolutely correct version of use (Which doesn't exist!).

BTW, I use the Oxford comma in sentences, phrases, and insults.
And we say "Punkt".
We don't use the
Oxford comma
.
Except it could be misunderstandable without it.
For example:
He wants to greet his sisters, Ernie and Bert.
That would make Ernie and Bert sisters.
In this case we set a comma too.
He wants to greet his sisters, Ernie, and Bert.
He likes to eat apples, cherries and oranges.
No comma, cause cherries and oranges are clearly no apples. -

Not exactly the English usage:
Luigi likes ravioli, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs.
No comma because spaghetti and meatballs are seen as one dish.
The Oxford or serial comma is not used much at all any more. I just brought it up because this thread had gone commatose* at one punkt.
*Don't look it up. It's a pun.

Didn't need to look it up.
It's nearly the same in German.
Komma –> Comma
Koma –> Coma
