Do you have any idea how hard your threads/posts are to read sometime?

[Racism and my failure to stop it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=468986)

[Will it never end? [Two and a Half Inches of Fun]](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=468537)

Please, for the love of GOD, use them.

This is all. Thank you.

I don’t necessarily think it’s Pit-worthy, but I will say that I clicked on the “Racism” thread link this morning and decided I couldn’t read it when I saw the layout.

It’s possible you’ll be losing a lot of potential readers to quality posts of yours if you don’t bother breaking them up somehow.

He was called out repeatedly in at least the racism thread about this same thing, why did you feel the need to start an entire thread about it?

However it had already been hijacked to this end, repeatedly. I still don’t see what you hope to accomplish by pitting **Omegaman**. The guy is obviously having a bit of a rough go lately, cut him a bit of slack.

For the record, I didn’t realize there was a discussion about it in the other thread. I retract what’s been posted here.

Yeah, I was going to say, **Liberal** , that you went to far with your comments here. Even for the Pit.

Not to mention how unattractive your paragraphing was.

I will offer my apologies here as well. As my initial post was so irritating to some I am not surprised that many did not make it far enough down thread to read my apology there. Please be confident that I offer them sincerely and will attempt to structure my posts while keeping the proper rules of grammer in mind.

I didn’t intend this to be a nasty thread. Just an exasperated one.

Gotta go w/ **Cluricaun** here on all accounts. Don’t really see the point to have a new thread repeating what had become the focus of his other thread, I think he got the message.
