It's whenever someone starts making points that the other side doesn't know how to properly dispute.

nah. if your points require walls of text then they're either not very good or youre spending more time ranting and raving than you are making actual points.

This just sounds like an excuse to not read giant post responses. I'll get behind that. I hate when someone puts up a big post with multiple points when I was just trying to have a low effort argument.

You post a paragraph at me then you're having a meltdown. If you post a few words to me then you're shitposting.

low effort argument = concise and efficient discussion?

lol okay. its quite simple. you can get straight to the point or you can have your melty.

Two most common examples are:

-A disproportionately sized post, sometimes flavored with random CAPS, and excessive, obvious, negatively charged emotional engagement. It is important to note that these negative emotions will be vehemently denied even if it is plainly obvious, and the one being replied to will be accused of being so emotional.

-A rapid series of posts that may extend to other topics on the board, with each successive post dropping in coherency and topical relevance.

It just seems weird to think the more someone talks, the less points they have. I mean, just throw context out the window right? Just make your claims and don't bother wasting space actually backing them up or anything. Cause that's too much text Mr. Meltdown. Jeez, just write a whole book that would be better summed up in a tweet why don't you.

While efficiency is preferred, it's pretty lowbrain to just deny that there are discussions where you need some hefty text.

See, this actually makes sense. When you lose topic relevance and are just trying to claw at whatever you can at a desperate attempt to not feel like you lost the argument

typically you'd have a point but most walls of text you see here are padded with unnecessary reactions and statements. we're talking about gamefaqs.

see the first quoted post. they could have simply said "a book contains more information than a tweet".

Ok, I responded to one other person that didn't turn into a conversation...do you feel like you're accomplishing something here? Cause I have no idea why this back and fourth is happening >_>. I can guarantee you're the one person who was confused on who I directed my post at. And I'm semi suspicious that you even knew and just thought it would be fun to go into this weird off topic discussion...oops, too many words, I accidentally had a meltdown

I'm the opposite. I recognize more users by their sig than name. It messed with me a bit when you switched to this new spectrum line.
