    It’s like most people just couldn’t be bothered to think (or read for that matter)

    Ugh! The number of times I got some snarky reply making a point that I’d just made!

    If you can’t stand reading, that’s okay. Just go look at some jpegs or something. Don’t make it everyone else’s problem by being an ass.

      My favorite has been the “I’m not going to read all that”, which I’ve gotten on multiple occasions in recent years. And I get it, I tend to write long comments when I am trying to convey an idea but I’m not writing entire essays without a filter. I am editing it down to what I would consider the most important parts. But it seems I should strip away all nuance and simplify it to a ELI5 level and not have it longer than 300 characters? If I wanted to do that I would be on Twitter.

        Yup. Sometimes, nuance is important. If someone’s “not going to read all that”, then okay. Just don’t comment then, either! They can’t possibly add something constructive to the conversation.
