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 Rating: 5

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

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.
