Sometimes people need the truth spelled out for them step by step in paragraphs because too much precision with a differing or unexplainable point of view automatically feels like an attack designed to turn truth on its head and make them look bad, or just simple flippancy, rather than an attempt to illustrate the broader picture and context that lead to whichever conclusions or points of view in a logical manner. Emotionally biased, misinformed or logically erroneous worldviews or opinions need to be dismantled point by point, fallacy by fallacy, if there is to be any form of two way communication on the issues. There also seems to be a general consensus that demonstration of at least basic literacy is required for your opinions to be of any possible intellectual import. That said, I don't usually have the time or willpower to pull this off as often as I should.

Also, some people will go to real lengths to demonstrate a particular context or life situation in an attempt to have their emotions validated or understood either because it's necessary to get the gist of their feelings/complexity of the situation/issue across or because they don't really know how to explain or subjectively weigh the most important underlying ideas necessary to be understood properly, so they just write everything. And for some people the act of stylizing and expressing themselves via writing in the form of many paragraphs is a psychologically pleasurable act in and of itself.

Join forum -> read paragraphs written by others -> write long paragraphs -> look back fondly on long paragraphs written by self and force others to read them -> look at me mom I'm Mark Twain.

Don't you know the concept of a NOT joke? I gave a sample of incoherent speech from an idiot who advocates the use of short communications to an absurd degree. There was a big "NOT" and the end of my sample. It means that I do NOT believe in anything said right before it, but I believe in the opposite.

Your video is about proving that crazy is crazy.

:nice:

That's clever, that's exactly what I told an ESTP friend who decided to start a political blog, people don't need to feel attacked, they needed to feel attracted to your writings..
By the way, I'm reading "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain done with few chapters it's interesting I like it [emoji3]
