My attention span is very short on the internet, so it's very often I think "cool story bro" and skip the hell out of some threads. Also, yes to topic #2! I have a tendency to write huge posts only to find out that I got logged out, or eventually just chicken out because I'm easily intimidated on the web and horrible at debating.

Parentheses are not sentence terminators, you still need a full stop. [/punctuation nazi]
I have a pretty good tolerance for stuff that is long, but I can't handle some of the stuff I see in the lower forums. All these arguments where people break up a person's already long post into many different quote boxes and then write an essay worth underneath each one -- I can't handle that, sorry!
How else are you supposed to address each specific point?Originally Posted by Jiro
Yup.
Although it depends very much on the subject at hand, I usually jump to the bottom of someone's paragraph if it's more than, say, 5-6 lines and start looking for the wrap-up question.
e.g. "So long story short, what can I do about my herpes?"
If the post doesn't have something like that, I'll skim and reply the best I can.. unless I'm at work, not working and bored anyway. In that eventuality, nothing is tl - dr.

There isn't any other option unless you want to make one wall of text. However the responses to each point are gargantuan. I'm glad they are passionate but it's too much for me.

I would call it lazy and uninterested, but weak works. However I must deduct a point from your overflowing pool of respect points (yes this is shameless ass-kissing because I have a mancrush on the guy) because of your inappropriate use of a closing bracket.Australia has made you WEAK)There isn't any other option unless you want to make one wall of text.

A CURLY BRACKET INSTEAD OF A smurfING QUESTION MARK?!?! If you didn't have a fancy degree, I would throw the book at you. I would slap you silly and then weep over the damage I have done to your face.
Why not do it anyway?
Because to throw a book you have to use energy that would be better utilised by doing something nice like waving at a stranger.
Well well well it seems like Mr. Grammar has used two question marks and two exclamation marks to terminate the same sentence] How shocking and unpleasant>
Your hypocrisy makes me lolDOT

Am I the only one who noticed the sarcasm? smurf me, I don't overly care how you finish a sentence. But well done on picking up that error, I didn't even think about it!
