The "punishment" was a public warning not to do that. If I was going to do something else I would have already done it.

HEY GUYS I HEARD THERE'S THIS THING CALLED AN 'EDIT' BUTTON THAT YOU CAN USE TO INSERT MORE INFORMATION INTO A POST OR FIX MISTAKES OR OTHER COOL THINGS!

No way! Really? When did they add that?

I was going to wait 16 minutes and post it a few more times, but now I can't.

I meant for future references. See, now I'm home and have no time constraint, so I can take that extra time to include other posts. However, during the morning and during the day, that's not guaranteed. There's been plenty of times where I started a thread in the morning and had to finish it later. I'm not doing that anymore and that's why I why I started responding to "gbaji length" posts in two pieces.

Besides, unless you're Gbaji or that other guy, you're typically not responding to as many people on different points as me on an average discussion. So, you have two choices, one large post or double/triple posts.

People complain about the length of Gbaji's posts (similar to my previous posts) and now you're complaining about multiple posts. There is no happy medium.



Oh, I guess I didn't realize that when I posted them and when I posted my "excuse"... I have been doing the same thing for months now, this is just one of the few times where it ended up as triple post. That doesn't make my reasoning any less valid.

Just look at the time difference between the third post of that triple poster and my next post.

Now I will say that after changing my posting habit, I have grown accustomed to just replying to each post.



Yea... if people don't even read the original, what makes you think people will read an edit?

While I don't believe I've ever complain about wordiness from anyoen here, I don't think you're understanding the complaints of others Alma. If people are complaining about the lengths of your posts or not reading them because they are too long, then splitting a single post into three spammed one after each other doesn't rectify the problem.

Brevity and priority. Sometimes there's a lot to respond to and it must all be addressed. In that case, try to make certain you're being as direct and terse as possible. Sometimes there are a lot of people responding, but not all responses merit further reply. In that case, stick to just the posts that you feel are relevant to the point you're making. And lastly, sometimes you just have a lot to say and there's nothing that can be done about it. In that case, grow some balls and just ignore anyone trying to detract from your comments. Spending extra time replying to criticism that you talk to much is an inherently doomed pursuit.

There's no such thing as obvious to Alma.

The other people don't do it nearly as often as you do, and have been dealt with separatly. This is about you, and your actions, and your apperent desire to annoy me for some reason. Profiling has nothing to do with it. If you are doing 90 in a 75 mph zone when the cop pulls you over, it really doesn't matter what race / ethnicity / whateverthehell you are. Quite frankly, I find your allegation of "profiling" to be rather offensive.

Now, are you done, or do you need to take some time to think about how you can avoid posting multiple consecutive posts in a very short time period?

In before banhammer.

It may be unintentional, but you've been told to stop, so stop. Just edit the existing post if no new ones have been made.

If you have something new and worth saying, then yes. If it's something that is really just a part of your last post, then edit it into that one.

And I'd just love to see the logic of how it's profiling for you to get warned, but when Ari mentions past warnings, those are... proof of your profiling...?

[EDIT]

Worth saying is clearly relative to you, not us. But we'd all appreciate it if you were to use our standards for your own.
