there is, in particular, a certain type of young INTP wall-o-text that seems to recur every so often.
I used to be worse about this, but even now I'm fairly wordy. I got into a mini-flamewar on another site recently, and even though I was spending a lot of time cutting down on the length of my responses, the other guy ended up trying to use my wordiness as an insult against me. (To clarify: the other guy never saw the longer versions, just the cut down ones, and he was still bothered by it.)
I don't consider it a flaw, exactly, but excessive wordiness is. Good wordiness says a lot and says it very precisely; it's wordy because there's a lot to say, and saying it as precisely as possible usually makes it take more words as well. Bad wordiness is not cutting out empty words or repetitions (that don't alter the meaning).
Even in my most wordy days, though, I always at least included paragraph breaks.
I adore it when someone hits the nail on the head in an incredibly compact and anti-wordy way, but I can't do it myself unless I'm specifically aiming for it. (What I should have written: "I adore terseness, but I normally can't do it.")
I think a lot of people would have just put: "
", and just left it at that. That's how my reply started out, but then it grew a bit...
If you think this is too wordy, be grateful you didn't see the unedited version in my head.
