Sometimes you get lost and you have lots of information to give to explain your position. I was writing a blog post aimed at non techincal people and 1/3 of the way through I was at 1200 words. Nope. That needs to be cut down to 600 words.

Once I wrote a blog post that I knew most people would just disagree with, so I wrote out a full length explaination. I posted it on Reddit, hardly anyone read actually read it and every single one of their comments againist my point was commented on in my post. Lots of people upvote and downvote based on title. Which kind of makes sense since you normally have to go to the page and read it before making a decision but the upvote and downvote buttons are right next to the link. One of the reasons I don't upvote often is I just forget. I've clicked the link read it and I'm off to my next post.
