to not read posts that don't have paragraphs...

[Uppatreecuppatea]

If anyone is wondering why their posts don't get replies, my response is: use paragraphs.

It could be my dodgy eyesight but I just can't read one long paragraph that goes on and on.....

See how I did that?

Just sayin'

You were just asking for it, you know. Sometimes people have so much pouring out of their hearts and minds, they don't have the time to bother themselves with paragraphs. If you do, you have clearly nothing worthwhile to say. Can you truly understand that? I certainly hope so. Weather today was so confusing. Hit but with cold breeze. Hope I didn't catch a cold. The new wellies my daughter has are so pretty. If we had a dig, I'm sure he would've loved it. Would you? Do you? Life is a journey for us all. I really hate Mondays and Wednesdays are not all that too to be honest.

No, asking for paragraphs when a OP is talking about DV / Emotional Abuse / Health Problems (insert as appropriate) is rude, petty and self-centered.

You can't/won't read it, that's fine - NO ONE CARES!

The OP doesn't care, the people who are contributing to the thread don't care about your absence, NO ONE CARES.

So you move on to a thread that meets your standards; you certainly don't add a passive-agressive shitty little post about your "dislike for lack of paragraphs".

I honestly don't understand how this is proving to be such a hard concept to grasp.

Did you read the OP of this thread? It was bloody horrible.

[maddening]

Yes it is everlong - it is very rude.

[usualsuspect]

It was the see how I did that that gave me the rage.

[usualsuspect]

There is a way of asking, writing a look how clever I am post,ain't the way to do it.

Bubble - my point is that you are not stupid - but to some grammar is a struggle so pointing out that in YOUR opinion it isn't so hard and just pressing enter is as ignorant as someone else saying "it isn't so hard to read without paragraphs" to you - and that someone who has difficulties interperating without paragraphs might have some more compassion.

[PoppyAmex]

usual, for me it was the "just sayin" that did it.

[PoppyAmex]

Excellent point, maddening

Some people really struggle with syntax and punctuation and won't suddenly overcome their difficulties just because someone started a thread about it.

If you want your post to be read and answered, you should try to make it as legible as possible as a courtesy to your readers.

Not difficult to press the enter key a couple of times.

I see plenty of posters replying to posts that are not perfectly written.

So the ones ignoring can carry on,you won't be missed.

[PoppyAmex]

Well, like Beer and usual pointed out, you don't have to worry about it because other people are happy to answer and contribute to those threads.

I could easily say "how hard is it to read a block of text, unless you're illiterate and have to mouth the words along?" but in this thread we already had a poster explaining she has a condition that makes that difficult, so there you go... people face different challenges in life and yours seems to be a lack of empathy.

I teach in an SN school. Many of my students are functionally literate and I imagine, when older, might enjoy posting on a site like this, and get something out of it. However, try as I might, I can teach hardly any of them to use paragraphs, and don't think I ever will. It is just the nature of their sn. Does this make them unworthy of human interaction? No. Thought not. If one can't read posts without paragraphs because of one's own needs, then fair enough. Otherwise, it is just like saying you wouldn't be friends with someone whose sn made them speak in an unusual voice, etc etc.

[maddening]

to some everlong it is hard.

I don't find empathy and compassion hard but evidently others do.
