Quoting long posts

[Sentox6]

As time goes on, this is one of those things that makes me gradually angrier. What really goes through people's heads when they hit the quote button on a wall of text or an image gallery and don't abridge it? Probably not a lot, I guess.

The cherry on the top is when the reply is only one line, which is the case more often than not. I should probably just chill out, but scrolling for hours just to see someone say "awsum post lulz" really doesn't enrich my day

Unless I have a long reply of my own, I snip it.

I should probably snip it anyway.

What you just did is as annoying as the problem you just put up. People making long and nonsensical rants about a really stupid topic.

All it does it take up space and make the thread more agravating to read. Long posts should be snipped whenever possible.

I know how to snip, but completely forget how, and that i need to whenever it is necessairy

It's easy to do; when you're writing the post the images / walls of text appear much smaller. I just wish people would use the `Edit' button when they realise how long the post appears.

If five sentences is your idea of an annoyingly long rant, the internet must seem like hell to you.

At any rate, I'd be much obliged if you'd explain what was nonsensical about my post.

I never said yours was long now did I? Now to answer your question your post was about a thing that happens alot and really doesn't need a giant neon sign giving it attention is all.

Don?t take it personally, we aren?t professional.... Whatevers.
We?re just lazy or low on time. I just finished reading a wall of text, I don?t have time to go editing it for the most relevant bits.
It?s the same reason we never search for a topic before posting about it.

This was not what I expected, and for that, I am sad.
