I don't know if other people feel this way, but usually when I see someone trying so hard to explain themselves about everything, it gives the impression of overcompensation for something else. What else, I don't know. Insecurities, lack of intelligence, I don't know. But especially when DW does it, it smells to me of "listen to everything I say because I'm always right and your inferior minds and intellect could stand to learn a thing or two. I am proving it right now by explaining every single little tiny thing I'm talking about in full detail."
Basically, DW when you go off typing essays, to me, it makes you look very arrogant because of the tone of the posts. It's that constant thing that turned you into a poster whom I would actually pay attention to and maybe get something from to nothing more than a tl;dr at this point.
You should stop assuming that no one reads your posts because they're not intelligent enough or don't "delve as deeply" as you do because that's not the reason people aren't reading your long ass posts anymore. This is a shining example of the old saying... "less is more."
I'm with Eric on this one. I think you'd do well to try some paraphrasing. However, I'm not with Eric on the 5 sentence challenge. Do whatever you want DW, keep typing forever... just keep in mind people might zone out and not finish reading it and it's NOT because you're oh so much smarter than the rest of us and we don't have the ability to communicate on the same level as you. What's it about is at the end of the day your long ass posts are usually totally boring and don't make any difference in our lives and if we feel like we're wasting our time reading them, we're not going to.
Well, you're absolutely right, I could make everything shorter, but it's not my style. If it needs to be short, it'll be short. If I feel it should be longer, it will naturally come out longer. It's not like I plan this shit. I open the floodgates and the fingers follow. If I really need to vent, I'll post a rant and you can guarantee it's gonna be long because after I vent about something, I feel better. I'd say it's a much better way with coping with stress than punching your girlfriend, drinking yourself into oblivion, or getting high and frying the few brain cells some of you have left.
Also, you assume that I do this for anyone else but myself and my own satisfaction and enjoyment, so if you find it difficult to swallow, boring, or just too damn long, again...don't read it. Skip it. Go play Solitaire. Go call your mother. Fiddle with an instrument. It matters not to me because it's not for any of you or to provide entertainment. If I want to put something out there to share, I'll do it and I'll do it in my own way. Some can deal with that, others can't. That's fine, I don't care.
As far as Kevin's psychological profile on me, I really don't care what you think of me or what you think about what I post, why I post, or the style in which I post. I think you're a genuinely nice guy who is very earnest, honest, down-to-earth, and a genuinely decent human being from what I gather. But I really don't know you and you really don't know me. You can put me in your little box and label me how you want, doesn't matter to me. Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up, go to work for a few hours, come home, play with my dog for a bit, come back online, post some shit if I feel like it, play my guitar, study some theory, and work on the next album.
Lynn doesn't like me because I make fun of his being a neoconservative retard. But he lives in Michigan, he's full of money, he obviously has a pretty luxurious life for American standards, and I'm happy for him. He's a douche nozzle, but I'm happy for him nonetheless. Live and let live.
If my posting style offends you ppl's sensibilities, I'd invest in a handgun and end it all right now if I were you, because real life is gonna kick you in the ass pretty hard.
Take this post, for example. Five minutes, more or less. Stream of consciousness. Don't give a fuck.
