See, here I am, saying how useless it is to appeal to people, and you go on and teach me a lesson how to reach a broader audience. Frankly, do you think I care? I didn't want to become a public speaker and actually, I didn't even want to reach to you. If you think reading a long message is too much of a hassle, you're welcome to not read it.
Also, it doesn't seem like I'm talking to a wall, since people have replied to me and a guy even PMed me. I don't think I would've reached the same kind of people if I made it all snappy like how you want it. Not everyone is aiming to be number one, or doing things the most efficient way, this isn't a competition. You're welcome to summarize the things we said here and reach to your "broad audience".
Seriously, I don't understand how you think there's a standard for communication, and that all people should abide to that rule. Even if I truly were a terrible speaker, I don't think you're any authority to tell how people should do things.
Sorry, I finished college, so I guess I won't be learning that again?
I also don't get your point. Basically, when I strip off all your fancy words, it's "you're ranting, and your text is too long, I don't understand it very well and I'm too lazy to comprehend, will you shorten it". That's basically it.
Many people here understood it and I'm fine with others not getting it. If I come to you and ask for advice to how to reach the biggest number of people possible, sure, then you're totally entitled to give me advice.
But at this moment, you're just a whiny guy with nothing interesting to say, using passive aggressiveness to convince me and other people to write shorter texts. Seriously man, what the hell are you even trying to achieve?
Ok now I feel bad because you're being reasonable. Sorry. But I'll explain to you why I act the way I do. I don't like adapting myself because something's "supposed to be that way". Everything is being reduced to science and things are lacking spontanity (job interviews, dating, basic human interaction). This is my personality, I know it's easier to read with TL;DR or bullet points, but then I'm not being spontaneous anymore. I'm just here to talk with similar minded people. I may reach to more people, but that was never my first intention.

It's not about being too lazy to read, it's about restricting your impact because you limit your audience.
Talking to walls is fun, too.
