Just to amuse you, I have written this message specifically to you, and set it in a hider. It is not addressed to the rest of the group, although you all are welcome to read it if you want to waste your time. I hope you rejoice at the .3 seconds of saved time when next you scroll down this page to hit "reply."
Also, as a writing tip, you should never waste a reader's time by saying, "no offence," because no matter what you say after those words, if it is offensive(which your message was not in the least), they will take offence regardless. The same goes for "in my opinion," because the only situation when you are using opinions which are not your own is when you cite a person or source.
As far as these "walls of text" are concerned, they are written for the benefit of everyone. If one person raises a question about what I have said, it is very likely that it needs further explanation. If I hid those explanations, it would make any future attempts to clarify what I meant much more complicated, because instead of using control+f to find it, I would need to search through all the hiders on a page first.
In the case of arguments, such as the one you just commented on, I have no interest in prolonging them. It was clear that you missed a great deal of what I said in my previous four posts based on how you are phrasing your comment, thus I shall summarize it for you quickly: Lore was confused about something I said, then assumed that I was mistaken in my understanding. He then tried to correct me in the form of logical debate. I quickly re-phrased what I originally said and ended the argument. Both posts were important in clearing up what I meant, thus both are relevant enough to the roleplay to merit being left outside of hiders.
Now, if you are actually worried about "losing information" amidst our ooc conversations, there is a very easy solution. You open a notepad document and write what pages have the important information on them. Save the document and: boom! Done. No more complaining. After all, it's your own issue if you can't find information here, there are only 10/20 posts per page and you have the control+f function(unless you're on mac, in which case I have no idea).
Lastly, this is a roleplay website. You are quite literally on this site for the sole purpose of reading countless walls of text for your amusement(aside from technicalities, of course). If you are not willing to listen to criticism about your posts or comments, you are limiting the amusement other people will find from your walls of text in the future.
It is not merely that I "think" that certain aspects of certain people's posts are inadequate. It is that they are objectively flawed in a significant enough manner that I can waste my incredibly valuable(
in my opinion) time writing out criticism instead of doing something more productive, like making scholarship essays for the BAR association, volunteering at a local hospital for CS hours, or completing school work. I leave these comments outside of hiders because I spent a great deal of time to write and edit these responses, because I believe that they are worth my time to write, and I want them to be read.
Now I can hear the counter-arguments flying around in my head, "what if your post is too long?" "what if it's irrelevant?" "what if I don't have time to read through your criticism?" Well, if those come to mind, you need to re-read this message, because I answered all of them. And I would like to point out that your hider is totally unwarranted. Your message to me was neither long enough, nor irrelevant enough to merit being hidden.
