He said he was stepping away from MB for awhile because of his grandmother passing. Maybe you didn't see it since it was in another thread and you haven't been around in a bit. Check the RIP thread I believe.

As a long-form journalist, nothing pains me greater than the expression, tl;dr.

As variety-seeking journalist, nothing pains me greater than seeing the trite response tl;dr.

TBH I try to read all your ****, really I do, but sometimes I just gotta skim. Nothing against your writing style -- I'd prefer long winded enthusiasm to concise robotism any day -- I just have the attention span of a retarded gnat.

same here. sometimes i'll start reading a journal entry, take a break, and then come back later to finish it. still the most enjoyable and engaging writing on the site though.

I'm putting together a second member journal with much shorter entries. These will be tales of retail/corporate hell as related by a well-spoken Victorian gentleman who's diary entries share tales of his experiences with suburbanite white gangsta coworkers, white supremest bosses, and tales of tech support assistance he's given to elderly technophobic employees. The juxtaposition of my dramatic, flowery, and formal speech with their stupefying ignorance should make for an entertaining read. I've got a stockpile of idiotic interactions saved from the last 10 years of hell, so I should have a steady flow of new content each week. I'll give it a go and see how it works out.

Jesus man: I checked it back and it was six lines. Is that tl;dr for you? I have to admit, considering how important and personal that was for me, and considering I avoided my usual wall of text, I'm a little disappointed, even slightly insulted that you would not take the time to read the few lines. Everyone else was able to read it and get the gist, but because you didn't bother you ended up making what came across - unintentionally of course, but still - as a somewhat heartless/thoughtless post, which could have been avoided had you taken a few extra seconds out of your busy life. Sad really.
