I don't have a problem with long posts by certain people, as long as they know how to get the point across well and use some form of punctuation because one super long sentence can be irksome to deal with and often it makes it impossible for me to follow what they are trying to say so usually I just skip right the **** over that post and pretend that I didn't even see the ****ing thing, unless of course it is a reported post that I'm forced to read in the course of my duties as a mod and because this douchebag wants to insult another poster somewhere in the middle of a long-winded, unintelligent, and chaotic single, unbroken sentence.


Wait a minute....:shock:

That depends on whether or not I have anything better to be doing. To determine this, I look in a mirror. If I see me in there, then I have nothing better to be doing.
 
It totally depends on the writer. But there have been times I have spent several mins. reading a long drawn out post and walk away thinking WTF? It makes me mad at myself that I read the whole thing. Another thing annoys me is when someone writes a hugh long post when it could have been said in like one simple sentence.

Too long. Didn't read. :2razz:
 
If it weren't for the character limits, I would have accused you of not knowing proper protocol with being a jackass on a forum, Tucker.

The correct way, ladies and gentlemen, is to say:

tl;dr

End of lesson!
 
If it is a personal story about the poster I'll read it, but only if they are credible. I always get here at the tail end when everyone is becoming redundant, so I skip the long posts 99% of the time.
