Lord J Esq: I never pointed my words at you, nor did I say that every person who used large words was just trying to show off their intellect. You assumed that I was making a generalization, which I wasn't. I never said 'everybody', or 'all people'. All I said was that there are people who do such things. If you are not such a person, then you have nothing to get upset about. There is a difference between a person like you, who actually knows the right words to use in a given situation and a person who just thinks they know and uses that garbled knowledge to try to show off. You hardly have need to show off, Lord J. When your posts are verbose, there are no extra words, no waste, and no misuse. For you to think that I meant that towards you is a mistake.
However, that being said, I think you make a lot of valid points with your post, because those people can be equally as annoying. There is nothing wrong with a large, verbose post in cases like yours where the person posting knows exactly what they're talking about and how they want to say it. It's the large posts filled with nothing but fluff, or people trying to show off and failing that I think upsets a lot of people to the point where, when someone like you does come along, they are unwilling to give your posts a chance due to the nature of large posts they have read in the past.
I actually do get tired of dealing with people who do not like to read large bodies of text, because I often like to put out large bodies of text, simply because I am a person who likes to rant. When I have something to say, I say it, and try as hard as I can to have it make sense in as few words as possible. However, both side of the equations should be aware that a person can only do the best they can with what they have and most people who do like to fill large posts with false intellect are usually those who wish they really had the intellect to do so. I would go even further to say that many of them know, deep down, that what they're doing isn't the right way of doing things, but again, people like to pretend.
I've got no reason to piss anyone off here, so there should be no reason why anyone thinks that I am purposely attacking them in any of my posts. None of my posts are generated specifically at any individual or group here, unless I say so. I'm pretty point-blank with what I have to say. If I have a problem with someone or a group of someone's, I'm going to say something, directly and clearly, and it may not be nice.
