Re: Ways in which you are petty

given that an average paragraph equals 5 or 6 sentences on average, breaking that up into two or three paragraphs still would be small for me. you can pad them by pasting in lines of the story that you love but it still hits medium as maximum imo.

What is one person's paragraph may be another person's six.

it was considering the 'given that some people don't use line breaks or write really long sentences' that i said 4.3k characters would be "long". if you're only writing two paragraphs but you've hit 3k characters then that would be a medium/long comment.

this comment is 162 words/906 characters and 4 paragraphs long but it's still small despite me padding it with your own words. i dont think there's anything wrong with short comments, but it's only when compared to a single sentence that this could ever be seen as "reasonably long". 4.3k word and multiple length comments exist. those are long.
