Why are y'all so afraid of long posts?

[JaggedEdge]

There have been a number of occasions where a member (often times a new member) has made a long post about an experience or what ever and people complain about the length. Look, if you don't have the mental capacity to read "a lot" of words, or simply to lazy or disinterested, don't respond. There is no reason to bitch about the length of a post. Someone makes their first post and puts effort into it and they get people replying about how that was just to long to read...

I understand sometimes you just want to skim through the boards and look for the threads you can read through quick. I understand, i do it to sometimes. But if you come across a short story about a persons first time, their is no need to point out how boring or dull you think their post is. And yes I am rambling on and on for a reason.

Maybe it is just me, but I find it very rude to tell someone you didn't read there post because it basically bored you, but good luck with what ever they were talking about. Just don't reply.

I agree. If u dont care then dont respond

Well when im really stoned, a wall of text hurts my eyes. And seeing this is a cannabis site...im sure most of the members are usually stoned. Most of the time the long ones are more interesting :)

[Mean Green Charlene]

Oh, and i agree..if its long and you dont want to read it..don't bitch. Just dont read it 'till your sober :P

[orangeman]

I don't have a problem with long posts. I usually find them quite interesting when I'm high. I can almost picture the whole situation in my brain lol.

I just get mixed up with the lines. Ill read a line then skip one on accident and be like wtf? this doesnt make sense!

[partyguy420]

i dont usaly have any problems with long threads, theres just the fact that i have problems with my eyes, were words jump around....ive noticed though, that its alot easyier to read long things when you highlight them with the blue....

I get discouraged when I pop open a loooong post,but I don't say anything,,,I think it is the lack of patience we all seem to have these days...


if I see it is getting attention I will usually go back and read it...

TL;DR

It all depends on what the post is saying.

If what you have to say is interesting to me, I will read it. If it's not, I won't.

Don't feel bad. There are short, one-paragraph posts that I don't finish reading too.

Good post, i wanted to ask this same question eariler today, but felt like it would have gained no useful responses.

[Frivolous248]

Really? People are complaining about long posts? I haven't noticed. I agree, they shouldn't bother bitching.

I enjoy a good long post, sometimes I don't always feel like reading it all, but in that case I'll read it later, and post then.

The only time I bitch is when it's a long post and they don't space out the text, otherwise I'm fine with reading a long post.

yes, when theres a lot of paragraphs but well broken up, it just catches my attention more

[Cheery Cherry]

I think it's important to space them out because stoned or not, I can't read long posts all in one block.

I don't have a problem with long posts. Sometimes, I don't like the short posts with no details. Especially when they are seeking advice.

Okay, I'm with you on this. It does sometimes get hard when it is one big block of text. I also refuse to read any post over a few sentences if there is no punctuation.

I hate reading something and thinking WTF? What he killed his dog while on weed... uh? Oh ok, it should be, "the weed I picked up today killed. My dog is cool." Seriously though, bad punctuation can completely change a sentence.

[justinsane]

i started reading the post... but it was too long


can anyone summarize? maybe an illustration?

[Mean Green Charlene]

LOL^

[yoda]

im not always patient enough to read a long post, especially if they dont indent it. then i just skip that shit.

freedom of speach is a wonderful thing
