    I don’t know why I bother other than habit. Writing is kind of my thing. I’m verbose. I will spend an hour trying to write an honest, thoughtful (in my opinion), response to something that goes against the current internet socially expected replies even knowing it’s just going to be downvoted to oblivion.

    I know most people see lots of words, decide it looks too tuff, and move on, but there have to be some people on text based discussion forums who still read words and exchange ideas. Nice to see this huge rant got so many thumbs up and replies. :)

      If all we wanted were short quips without any substance, we wouldn’t be here. We’d be on Xitter or something. As a fellow long-post writer, who thinks reading rants and writing essays is fun, I’d say we’re in the right place. Keep doing what you do - we’re here for it!
