Your posts are great, please don’t change a thing. I learn so much every time I read one of your posts. Let the haters find some other blog to read.

T, please playa write for your core followers. I can’t understand how someone will read a whole blog and then nitpick the style of writing afterwards.PEOPLE EITHER READ IT OR LEAVE IT ALONE.

Keep doing what you are doing. The biggest lesson you’ve taught me is to not bend to other people’s frames. Their demands for you to shorten you words has more to do with their laziness in taking the time to read your articles.

You write, first and foremost, for yourself and those who appreciate what you have to say. Your blog is very thought heavy, so you need to write more. Unlike Roissy, for example, your writing isn’t so short that I’m left wanting more.

As a journalist I was taught to be concise because my readers have little time to spare, considering all the competition there is in the media marketplace.

It’s not easy for everybody to take the time to edit and pare down their words. If you are interesting in honing your writing skills for brevity, I recommend two books: “The Elements of Style” by William Strunk and EB White. “The Associated Press Guide to News Writing” by Rene J. Cappon.

Damn. Now I’ll have to find 30% more stuff to read…

Maybe I’m slow but I just tied a couple of things together. In a your ‘middle class alpha’ series you talk about polygamy not only being the status quo for most of human evolution, but actually being a better deal for women (since any halfway hot woman could join the harem of a millionaire and live in style instead of settling for average joe). I wonder if this asymmetry is why middle-class women give us middle class guys such a hard time? They’re only a top-50% woman (say) but they’re genetically hard-wired to think they deserve a top-10% man?

Maybe if some people could sit still for fucking 5 minutes they wouldn’t have a problem reading your posts. How do they manage to read a book if a blog post is too long?

Fucking idiots.

I think this is a bad idea.

You’re covering subjects for which entire books have been written and you’re doing it better, and with 1/10th of the required investment.

I will develop you some software which will fingerprint the web browser of the visitors on your site. When that user complains about your posts being too long winded, we’ll just ban that fingerprint.

No soup for you.

Do a ‘wordy’ raw post. Then edit and refine it. Then let your readers compare the raw and refined T. Could be interesting.
