A Rare Rant on Post Lengths
On my treks through internet commenting pages (blogs, forums,"comment on this video" et cetera) I've noticed often when someone writes a well thought out, grammatically correct, full sentenced structured post leaning towards a lengthier side he or she feels the need to apologize at the end.
Most people comment with one or two sentences about something out of a combination of laziness, a struggle to find the right words to say what we mean, or lack of patience. I'd be delighted if I could write interesting, coherent responses consistently and I admire those who can.
They shouldn't be apologizing for having a brain or think that their opinion isn't worth our time. We can choose what to read and what to skip. Well thought out opinions are a pleasure to read and a relief from negative, one or two word comments of rude people that snare most people's attention simply because they were made to provoke.They do nothing more than make themselves look bad.
Thank you to everyone who tries to be reasonable when they respond to things and well done to those who can make their thoughts sing--no matter what the length of the post is. All of you have brains.
