Is anyone else like that? You see a long post in a topic and you don't bother to read it. I don't see why people write essay like post on a blog. It happens a lot in the relationships forum.

I don't mind at all, as long as it's not complete nonsense. I actually like it when someone puts an actual effort into what they have to say.

Yessssss


Effort is nice. And well, you might want to gain more attention span?

You read LoTR yet you can't read long posts? I don't get it. You read elvish songs and hobbits and such. And I mean all that in a nice way. Not a bitchy way.

I just don't get it.

But didn't you post essays you wrote?

It depends. I don't really pay attention to the long posts in relationships. I try to read the longer posts elsewhere, if it's not.. "boring."

But didn't you post essays you wrote?

I didn't write those. and it's a book, i can hold it, and i'ts like, i actually want to read and it's what's your supossed to do with a book! i cant really concentrate and think a lot on a computer screen for long. i skip the really long songs though. some are like 4 pages. the council of elrond was boring too! i skipped some of that. i'll reread that chapter later.

Yeah.. I figure if they took the time to write it, why not take the time to read it? I have the same attitude about MySpace About Me sections. laugh.gif

I would usually take the time to read long posts.

I hear a lot of the long posts are at Relationships though, and I don't really go there that often.

No. I read long posts when I can. Hell, I've even read those really, really old topics in the Locker Rooms out of boredom -- you know, the 20-30 page topics? Yeah, and a few of the debate topics as well. I really don't mind long posts as long as it makes sense and has a point to it at least half-way through.

Me too..unless it's a topic that I know something about or whatever, I usually don't bother reading or replying to those topics.

Depends on the post itself. If its like 23972837109 pages full of stuff no one can understand, then no. If it's interesting, then sure, I don't mind reading it.

well it depends on what its about, i remember at times when i actually do read a long topic, i find myself thinking "why the hell did i even read that" especially in relationships.

so yeah, alot of the long topics arent even interesting enough to be worth my time. sorry.
and just because they're long doesnt necessarily mean they're more intelligent.

People just aren't good at making paragraphs. When I see a whole block of words, I don't like reading it. When I see short paragraphs, it's a lot easier to read.

I only read the relationship forums when I feel like helping someone. And when I feel like helping someone, I would read anything. Except that big block of words, of course.

I can read long posts. If I see a long post, I give it a chance. If the first paragraph is boring then I decide to ignore it and just go away. Long posts aren't my favorite anyways D: Another thing that would make me avoid long posts is if they repeat the same exact ideas all the time.. that's just pointless
