    That’s all too many words. You don’t need all the exposition. You know how you know the guy you described is a racist? By the the fact that he’s a racist. Doing racist things.

    All that other stuff is extra padding.

      Sorry use many words. I see question, think want answer. Am wrong?

        Depends on your goal. Short communications make bigger impacts.

          You’re right! You know what I could have said instead?

          Who could have guessed that the rich white South African would turn out to be a white supremacist?

          See the flaw in using too few words?

            I don’t see any flaw. The meaning of that sentence is very clear.

            If the post lead with that then maybe there wouldn’t be any complaints.

              It literally DOES start with that! That’s the top level comment, word-for-word, which at least two people were too thick to understand. So yes, I gave a longer explanation, like I apparently must also provide to you.

                You asked “Am wrong?”.

                The content was fine but Your post was not as clear as the top post. That’s what was wrong.

                  Yes, I added shiny metaphors, explications and implications, because the subtext of the original post was apparently utterly lost on both of them.

                  Why use many word when few do trick? Because some people don’t understand the few words.

          Says someone who’s brain is rotten from the internet. “Nah miss me with those books fam, if you can’t say it in one sentence like a viral tweet then I simply can’t use my brain.”

            You wrote a lot of words, but your argument is unclear.

              Don’t conflate an argument being unclear, with you having trouble understanding it

                Don’t assume anything about anyone you’ve just met.

                  I’ve made no statement about you. So, your response is a bit weird.

                    with you having trouble understanding it

                    That was a “you” statement.
