i mean, you understood the meaning of the sentence, right? so the person managed to get their point accross, and saved on length by using that form - that's actually quite linguistically clever!

I got an idea that the person was venting/ranting but couldn't understand the specifics of the term "vauguing". There's so many mistakes in their response that I just assumed it was a typo.

Looks likes it's a word that been around since the 1600s but is pretty much never used anymore.

I could only guess the meaning. Disagree all around
