I see your perspicacity is hindered by neither your inch-thick spectacles nor the blood flecks upon them. You would normally be correct in your assertion that the ‘esq’ is a redundant tautology [sic].

However, in this case I was deploying the extra title pleonastically in order to punctuate the fact that said Mr Dawson is currently ‘couch-surfing’ and thus can be considered an unlanded vagabond.

And to quote the great Peter Braggodoccio-Barrowman: “Where ys a man’s wittes if it ys not in hes tits?”

I do hope that you recognize the tautology in labelling our friend-in-common “Mr. Matt Dawson, Esq”. If referring to him as an esquire, then the “Mr.” is redundant. You may be an adequate Magna-Doodler, but your implementation of titular convention is most disappointing.
