Oh, there would be a lot to explain here, but here’s the gist of it, I suppose:

  • For one, I have an insistence on writing thoroughly and clearly, something that people on here tend to dislike. I do a lot of, as people here dub it, “paragraph writing.” I prefer to write long texts and fully flesh out my ideas, because I want people to have a clear picture of my thoughts. I find it challenging to accurately encapsulate my thoughts in a mere sentence or two; minimizing the thoughts to such a level tends to misrepresent my ideas.

  • I have ambivalent beliefs, values, attitudes, and so on, and this does not appear typical on here. From my limited encounters with people on this website, most people swing heavily to the left or to the right (in terms of political affiliation), but I host beliefs belonging to both parties. Consequently, I’m liked by neither side, because I have a bit of what each side despises!

I guess there would be more to add here. In sum, though, I don’t consider myself to be a “typical” person on here, and I don’t appear to be the kind of person this website was intended for.

big posts is exactly why i followed you! your arguments are purely logical (and also big brain), it makes sense to not compress them into 2 sentences

Aw thanks! It’s very sweet of you to say this

Yes, compressing everything into a sentence or two can be hard; in my case, writing concisely is not something I’m especially skilled at, so I like to develop things over a larger text.
