This thread

I really feel I'm starting to fit into the community. Threads are being made to talk about my giant posts.
Ahh, I still remember when nobody knew I existed. Now I'm being called "That guy who's really good." (win/lose ratio is the best out of the top 100. Better than SomeMugger's.) and "That guy who makes huge essays." (This thread...)

Why is this thread a thread? o_o

 

[G33ke]

Why is this thread a thread? o_o

Because we are having fun discussing it, and we shouldn't discuss it in another thread.

I'm not really sure "That guy who makes huge essays" Is a compliment

I said I'm fitting in, I didn't say people liked me.

I strongly disagree, and here is why: (By the way, if you couldn't tell, I'm making this post specifically to have a bit of fun... :3)

Writing a sentence or two makes the idea very easily misunderstood, or sometimes it will even have not much meaning. It would be a mere assertion. For example, if I just said "I really like this idea, I think Chad should add this in right away." without elaborating on why, nobody would quite know whether my opinion is worth taking into consideration. After all, I really provide no real new ideas or have any known reason for supporting them. My statement may be true, but it contains very little reason to be considered much but "spam". Something that really has no reason to be there, as it provides no real new ideas or reasoning behind it...it's simply an assertion, clogging up the forums. (Although...writing a million words also does...but at least those words have meaning and structure behind them, giving them the foundation for people to actually care.)
Like I said as well, it's very easy to misunderstand or not see the whole picture as well. If I simply said "I agree with this because of [insert vague reason here]", and kept it vague, I am very susceptible to being misunderstood or not getting the whole idea across. Honestly, I prefer people to completely understand or not understand at all what I am trying to say rather than have them misunderstand it completely and get the wrong idea, causing unnecessary controversies. I mean, if I keep all my posts very short and find myself trying to prove a point on a feature suggestions thread to get something added/removed, I'd rather not take up 2 pages worth of posts causing a controversy just to get my idea across when it could all be in one, neat post. (If you couldn't tell, I love attempting to persuade people to have the same opinion as me. I generally do a lot of debating...anticipating an argument and countering it before it comes up just makes everything simple, so my posts get huge.)

And you said it yourself right there - I do want to elaborate on certain points. I want to say exactly why something will be the way it will be instead of simply saying what will happen - an example of this is in a post explaining why NCP shouldn't be removed, I must say exactly what would happen if it was removed instead of just saying "hackers will be everywhere". If I just say that, it will be like stating the obvious to them, you must tell them why it'd be so bad and give supporting evidence/arguments to make the statement worth stating...otherwise, to them, you are just telling them what they are prepared to give their unnecessary and totally incorrect argument for.

Produces emotions? Well...I try to keep mine sounding calm and mature sounding, but sometimes I just find the moment where those italics...they are so tempting to use...>.> Regardless, I do not believe they produce many "emotions" unless it starts to turn into a altercation, going on with two sides sticking to their opinion. I generally try to leave it if it gets heated to prevent it from getting much worse. I try not to stir emotions much if at all possible...

Meh, your post wasn't that big...you're right, you are on the way. Welcome to the dark side.

But...It's only pleasurable to make a gargantuan dissertation when conventional multitudes of humanity have no understanding of what you are trying to communicate to them. (For the record, I have no idea if I even used half of those words correctly or put them in an understandable order... >.>)


Edit: You edited your post a bit as I made mine, so mine might seem a bit off.

No.

Duurrrrr I liek g33ke'z long posts. (No, really I do, there so interesting and allow me to think about my own thoughts on the situation on hand)
personally I would make my own enormous amounts of texts as-well, but I personally just try my best to keep it short and hopefully clarifying my side of the story as strongly as possible without putting to much wording into it.
dat's how i just see it lawl ;DDD!!!!! <--- Emotions to make this post come even moar alive + b@d spelling n grammer (the e was intentional)

I... I don't understand why you have a problem with people being good posters?

I personally always read G33ke's posts if I see them, because he always raises valid points. Most people just do a TL;DR and like it. His posts boost my IQ by at least 0.0000001.

I'm nt sure about Zeno, on the other hand...

 

[CAmadeusA]

Alright... Whats a TL;DR????

Alright... Whats a TL;DR????

Too Long; Don't Read.

It's when people see long posts and go "MY EYES AND BRAIN ARE TOO LAZY FOR THIS."
