    Starting to think that most members here don't read anything longer than 140 characters.

    It really wasn't that long. Most things worthwhile cannot be typed into one paragraph.

    Disagree. I liked the OP's post; however......


    "I like pizza."

    That sentence is worthwhile and less than a paragraph. What now.

    I honestly can't read things that are too long.
    The letters get all jumbled together & nothing makes sense.
    one of the reasons I couldn't finish high school ha.

    What would some of you do if presented with a book?

    What sort of book?

    Twilight? Throw it out
    Danielle Steele? Burn it.
    Medical textbook? Read every last word.
    Spy novel? Cancel my dates, I'm reading.

    "I like pizza."
    This sentence is ALWAYS worthwhile...

    I understand what your saying however do you think your post was better than any of the others? I'm sincerely being respectful but I think this has been beaten to death, and you agree it has. Too. Sorry sweetie I just think this is the same thing but written just a little bit better
    Maybe. I naively thought it was different. Not better. As someone who has used the "get a thicker skin" argument in the past, the realization that I cannot command someone to be less sensitive was an a-ha moment for me. I used to argue that point a lot here on MFP. But I'm trying to understand how people get hurt/offended so easily. I'm trying to meet people half-way and was encouraging the same.

    I do type fast, though, which often results in a wall of text. I don't mind reading long passages of text online. I forget other do. Apologies for the torrent. As someone posted, I guess I do like the sound of my own typing :drinker: . My singing voice is slightly better. I'm bummed my point is lost on some due to sheer length. I'll work on being more succinct. Thanks for the lesson tonight. I should go lift some weights.

    I'm sorry your thread wasn't taken seriously. Would have been a better blog.

    WOOOT! I read the entire post and it was amazing. :) I love you!

    I get so tired of people picking sides and jumping all over people... its just the internet and the entire issue brought up creates more of it!


    *sniffles* Bravo! Bravo! *tear*

    Yep. You are right. Honestly, my post began life as a response in a particular thread that got locked. I almost always compose responses in a text editor, then paste them in. After the thread was locked, I kept coming back to it - partly why it got so long. I should have just saved it for a blog post or something. Or even just deleted it. I've said most of that stuff before. Oh well. I'm on kid duty tonight, watching five girls aged 7-10. What else am I gonna do but hang out on MFP?

    My eyes skipped to the word "jerky" and then I stopped because I am a vegan.
    This was awesome.
