^Even though you say that, the majority of your posts are still 1-2 lines long. I know you're probably not doing it just to get your post count up, but try and spend more time on your posts  . <<A lot of posts are only like one sentence or a couple of sentences long. If for example you post something at the games board, it's not gonna be much use to make a post of more than one sentence, usually. >> It's fine to post in the games board every once in a while, but to have most of your posts be there, or one line long, just makes me, and I'm sure other people, lose all respect for people. << Take a look at your own posts, you probably have more posts like that than you expected. >> I did take a look at all my posts, and deleted all of them that I thought didn't have any point. |

I have a pretty lot of posts, but I try to add something thoughtful to each one. If I don't have a clear opinion on the topic, or it's not something that interests me, I just don't reply.

Spastic.Fruit writes in a smaller font than everyone else, which might account for some of posts looking smaller than they appear.

Well I'm sorry that my posts are 5 paragraphs long. And who says that I don't spend time on my posts? Because I sure as hell do. I only post when I have something to say or contribute to a conversation. Therefore, it wouldn't be fluff now would it? And yes, as Lisa said, I write a much smaller font than the rest of you, which may make a paragrah look like 2-3 sentences.

You don't need to be so snappy about it.
Your font may contribute to your posts looking shorter than they are, but how much time could you possibly spend on a post three sentences long?
Fluff, in my opinion, is making ruthless amounts of short, sometimes pointless posts in order to increase post count. You can make the judgement yourself.

I'm sorry. But I'm getting kind of tired of this. Just because a post is 3 sentences long, does not mean that it's pointless. Everything that I post has a point to it, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time posting it.

I'll bet that if you made you're font size bigger, that no one would think that you fluffed. Maybe you should make it hugeso no one thinks otherwise  Oh yeah, and I apologize for that last post right there. It's the tiny font size that made me think that  |

It's okay. But still...I shouldn't have to change my font size to make people stop accusing me of fluffing. It's not right. I like my small font, and I'm not changing it because of people's accusations. |

You guys, I don't think that we should accuse certain people on this thread. I am sorry to see this go so long. I don't agree with fluffing, but that doesn't mean we should attack certain people. spastic, I am sorry about everything. Guys, I think we can discuss this without getting personal.

I think you guys should just leave spastic alone. Who cares if not all her posts are 5 paragraphs long? That doesn't mean that she doesn't have anything meaningful to say. I looked through her last 50 posts just a minute ago, and almost all of them were at least a paragraph, and even the ones that were shorter weren't pointless. I mean, sometimes you don't need several paragraphs to make a point. BTW, spastic, I like your font, and I don't think you should change it. Whenever I see that font, I know that it's your post, even before noticing your name.

Okay. I'll be very specific and straight-forward.
Spastic.Fruit used to fluff a LOT.
Spastic.Fruit (Kiwi-Eater) DOES NOT fluff anymore.
Let's get OVER IT.

I don't really think that post SIZE= post MEANING. If someone can fit all their thoughts on the subject into two sentences all the power to them, some people prefer to condense their thoughts while others prefer to explain them thoroghly, neither party is doing anything wrong, it's just a posting habit.

Uhh...whoa...what just happened? Two pages of this thread are gone...deleted? Probably. Yeah, they were bitchy, but brought out some good points...Not that I'm complaining that they're gone because now we CAN get over it. So how 'bout we all just forget what happened in this thread over the past couple of days, and get on with life with less fluffing? Alrightey. Thanks |

Huh? I'm so confused. Just literally 2 minutes ago identified.stranger posted that she deleted them, but she also just wants to get over it, forget what happened...yeah. I dunno what's going on, but either way, I think we're over it now and we can get on with life. |

Yeah...I don't know. I'm confused too. But that's okay. I'm just glad to be over this whole thing.
