long responses vs. short responses

Post by **Niode** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 8:59 pm

I like long interesting posts rather than short obvious posts. As Gamerforlife puts it, long posts are so much easier when they are punctuated and paragraphed properly. It's easier to understand what people are saying that way.

Just remember to start a new paragraph if you change tact or subject. It just makes more sense that way.

it would be a beautiful ironic twist if this thread reached 4 or more pages.

It all depends on the question. Certain question needs to be clarified or more confusion will ensues. Certain question just need a yes or no. Any additional sh*t is just a waste of my time and a few seconds taken off from my already short life.

BTW, there is a difference between long and all about nothing and long but to the point.

I agree there is a difference, but the poll doesn't clarify between the two. So long empty posts and long healthy posts are both long and are clumped together. Saying this is like saying, "we shouldn't say humans can be loving creatures, because a large group of them aren't loving" when deciding for the entire group.

It isn't so serious a topic.

I like post to be as short as possible. If they need to be long, okay, but make it worth my while to read it.

I didn't think we were being that serious about it. Were we?

I thought everyone knew the way I spoke.

Those are all examples of short responses. No. Point. Whatsoever. In this case, I prefer no response to short or long ones. HA HA HA. BTW, I am not serious.
