I'm not trying to "get wank" out of anything; I'm discussing the topic at hand and I'd prefer if you didn't immediately assume bad faith of me. You might not have said anything regarding quality, but the topic started up when someone mentioned using a person's average comment length as a way to deem them worthy or unworthy of a treat. That attitude has been common on _coal these last few years and there's been higher and higher standards of what constitutes a "long comment" from your recipient. That's what bothers me, even if you specifically don't hold that opinion.

In your opinion, you're a medium length commenter. In my opinion, you're a long commenter. It's subjective. No, not subjective to the extent that a three word comment can be considered long, but three paragraphs is a long comment in my book. A vast majority of comments are a sentence or two long, therefore I consider three paragraphs "long" as far as feedback goes.
