I'd prefer to think of myself as a mermaid but sure...call me a goldfish if you'd like...

I just hate the one big paragraph...

Even if a post is long, if it's broken up into paragraphs, you can at least skim it and figure out the point or if it's worth actually reading.

Those one big run-on 30 sentence paragraph posts are an automatic thread closer for me.

am i the only one who, upon opening a thread and seeing its more than 2 paragraphs just closes it regardless

its like i just don't care regardless of the thread title

I give it a chance, but if it's poorly written or even just BORING they don't have my attention after a few paragraphs! :geek:

idk why...but that truly made me laugh.

brevity is not one of my strong points....some read, some skip.....c'est la vie.

The good thing about this sentiment is that the appropriate audience for the post is then self-selecting. (Though apparently this doesn't always work.)

ironically that's your shortest ever post.

Brisk.

yeah epic walls of text suck.

aneutronbomb

skip mostly unless im way into the subject

i also get annoyed by the single word or phrase posts for some reason

its like i understand that people just need to react and answer simply to things on here so why does it bother me? i mean i do the same, just post "yes" or "no" or "thats funny"...but why?

i guess i like for posts to be about 2 to 5 simple thoughts or sentences

what a weird thing to be thinking and commenting about

If you take the time to write a loooooooooong post, make sure you have software like "Lazarus Form Recovery" in Firefox. This forum times you out after an hour or so.

And whatever you do, do not test any links you post...easily THE most annoying glitch on this site.
Why doesn't it open another window, gawdamnit? :evil: :evil:
Preview post --> click on link --> opens in same window ---> go back to your post --->gone.
every. fucking. time.
