I find this whole discussion about long-winded posts somewhat ironic
.
Just last weekend, I received a private message which, amongst other things, informed me that my posts are long-winded, boring and as a result, were being blocked by other posters. Presumably, given that the poster who informed of this has blocked me, she won’t be able to object to me sharing this information with you.
The irony? Well, it turns out there is at least one other poster here who is just as boring and long-winded as me!
I have to admit that I found it amusing when I realised yesterday, that I am not the only one who seems to think so. I will not share further details of the private message here because that would make me as immature, as the person who sent it. However, if I were to, you would then understand how truly ironic this whole situation is!
In any case, it seems I shouldn’t be worrying about my long-winded posts - not that I actually was. People appear to be saying now, that they actually like long, repetitive posts. You know, if I didn’t know better I would be inclined to think there was some kind of divisiveness going on here. That’s just me overthinking the situation, right?
Just a heads up for those who maybe don’t know me - not that I owe anyone any explanation. I suffered a rather serious brain injury just over 18 months ago. It makes expressing myself in written form, very challenging. Because of that, my posts tend to be long - I’m not good at expressing myself succinctly. It’s very frustrating for me too, believe me! I think most of the regular posters here, know and understand that because they have never criticised me for it.
It’s not the long-windedness of the posts that I think people are objecting too, here. It’s the constant re-hashing of the same information. It’s kind of killing the conversation a little and preventing the thread from moving forward. I mean, we usually fly through threads here and even though we might expect the thread to be busy right now, people seem to be not posting. Perhaps if we kept it more current, more people would want to post.
