an overall suggestion : no more novels!

[Smurof]

I love this board, and have been posting going on 1 year. For those with lots and lots to say, make your key points and limit them to no more than a paragraph. Otherwise, your content is primarily ignored.

 

Mostly political rants are guilty of this, but we're for the most part here to interact with others about things that don't require too much to reply about, and certainly not looking at something "War & Peace"-esque.

OK.

I am capable of skimming and ignoring!!!!

 

Posters should post as they wish and we can read or not as we wish!!!!

Agree. But, "War and Peace" is not a difficult read despite the length.

Good luck with that.

 

Advice that Im sure was well intended. Good advice from my perspective as a reader. Certainly advice that would benefit me as a poster.

 

But the likelihood of inhibiting any behaviors on social media is nil.

 

You might as well go on Facebook and advocate for common sense, telling members to please read things before they share, or fact-check news items.

my overall suggestion for you - limit your browsing here to the "Gallery" forum & just (silently) look at / enjoy the pretty pictures.

Not easy in the political form, especially if you posting a long article on the tax bill (just one example).

I do agree some people write long post out of habit, not necessity.

Whose necessity? Lengthy explanations, often believed necessary for complicated subjects and justified by an author's desire to be thorough, are often driven by a writer's need to be heard and understood.

 

Listen to me. Please listen to me. You've got to listen to me!

One listen to me made your point. The other two were vanity posts.

Stop dumping on Steven Kesslar. Do as I do, just read the First sentence and then the Last of his posts,. You'll get the full essence...

But many of us have a respectable attention span. No need to write for Trump.

Related: copying and pasting 12 paragraphs from news stories: I don't see the point.

I can read the papers on my own, why pasting it here without any commentary or added value of any kind?

There's always the ignore feature.

Brevity the newer norm
