Re: Sorry...
Posted By: paulmarv <paulmarv@comcast.net>	Date: 2/2/11 8:56 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Sorry... (Sl'askia) : I did actually read it, but it was painful to do so as you 'responded' to : most of the folks in one big paragraph...a big no no. Keep in mind that : text walls are very rarely read by most people, espeically on the net. It : is one of the reasons I didn't even bother reading your article on B.net: : text walls everywhere. Text walls are bad in any written medium. : The another reason I didn't read the article I eluded to in my first response : in this thread: the language you used came off a lot like the legalize : lawyers and politicans use. Which means the common folk, like me, end up : getting headaches just trying to understand it, and ultimately give up : trying. As some said on B.net, the way that was written seemed like you : intended it for a group of scholars and lawyers, not regular everyday : folk. If the everyday folk was your intended audience, you went about it : the wrong way with your choice of writing style. : As an aspiring writer myself, I know that you have to keep in mind your : target audience when deciding how to write your prose. If you write a : story targeted at a bunch of five year olds in collage level language, you : are going to get a bunch of blank looks and audience looking for something : else to do, which means your efforts were pretty much wasted. Before my post were essentially 89 posts of criticism. Do you expect me not to respond to that? I'm no longer talking about whether or not you should read my big OP on Bnet or not... I'm talking about the defense I posted here. I used simple language and discussed the efficient language I used in SC. But you still say that it seems like the way I wrote it was for "scholars and lawyers", so perhaps you read the wrong paragraph my the response to this thread which was in response to my OP on Bnet. *inhale* I've addressed what you are saying in my first post here; there's no need for me to copy+paste.
