Does anyone else get turned off by long rambling posts?

[bikepacker]

Many such posts turn me off and I can’t be bothered to read them. Is this just me or do any of you feel the same? Some contributors indulge in what has been described as; literal diarrhea

One of the skills I tried to instil in my employees was; not to use six words when one will do.

[hondated]

I do Alan when its just someone continuing a dialogue just to score points for whatever reason.

Still thanks for the thread I am now off to read your Blog.

That won't take you very long.

Don't mind long threads and continued discussions as long as the posts are; concise, informative or witty.

I have no particular problem with long rambling posts. It's paragraphs the length of a short novel that deter me.

That, and text-speak ...

[Psamathe]

...That, and text-speak ...

I find the text-speak very difficult and often ignore posts that include it. If people can't be bothered to write English I can't be bothered to read it. However, bad English (e.g. from somebody who is not a native English speaker) is fine.

Yes and turned off by multi page posts.
Get to page 2 or 3 and someone, who obviously hasn't read previous answers, says exactly the same as someone else has said on P1.
I don't mind multi-page posts such as the photo based ones or that type of thing.

You know what's coming next don't you?

[PDQ]

This is quite a long one.

Indeed but Bicycler discovered a rambling post that was so long it had to be abbreviated.

It's paragraphs the length of a short novel that deter me.

Our English teacher used to bang on about "sentence paragraphs" when writing letters and/or getting information across.

You'll no doubt see that all my millions of posts on here are in sentence paragraphs or a few short sentences per paragraph.

Also, a line space between paragraphs. It gives the eyes and brain a rest.
