does anyone read answers that are more than 5 sentences long?

Question

i get threw maybe 10 words.

i get some that are soooo long.
i skip the scriptures immediately

sorry lucid dude... 2 long

Answer 1

usually not! dont some people just go on!

Answer 2

I consider myself a fairly verbose person by nature. As such, I feel it is my duty, and especially given my typing capabilities, to apply a little more effort than the average answers patron to each response.... or at least most. That doesn't necessarily mean that I will pay attention to any other response that is of considerable length... and some, through one reason or other (usually quotations) have a tendency to be well beyond my tolerance for light reading. I never write anything that will span more than a page, for instance.

But provided a person has entirely written their own answer, rather than relied on copy+pasted content and quotations, then I will usually give them a bit of my time... unless the first few sentences are so objectionable as to nullify anything else they might have to say.

Does this suffice as an answer?

Answer 3

Sure. Sometimes complex questions require complex answers. However, I'll often skip the obvious cut-and-paste jobs. I generally prefer for answers to come from someone's own thoughts rather than from a novella-sized quotation out of Wikipedia, or a massive passage of scripture.

Answer 4

Yes. I prefer a thought-through answer that makes sense in itself to a rightout statement without any support (when necessary, that is).

I even read scriptures, albeit somewhat reluctantly

Once a girl asked a question here, then picked one of the top anwers for best answer and said "I really didn't want to read the rest, didn't feel like it." Sorry? Why ask a question, then?!?

Answer 5

I usually do.

If someone posts scripture I skip it unless I'm asking specifically about scripture. I ask question's to hear people's opinions - not to have them cut & paste a textbook answer that they've probably never considered themselves.

If I can tell I disagree with the response, or if they start going off on a tangent I'll skip to the next paragraph, then go back if they got themselves back on track.

Answer 6

I do, actually, unless it's a copy and paste, it's just scripture, or it has nothing to do with the question. I've learned lots of things by reading the long answers. And I'm not too lazy to read them.

Answer 7

The answers to all our problems, the Bible, is a bit longer than 5 sentences.
The whole book needs to be studied to find out God's thoughts on matters.
Principles are set out to apply to any problem.
If you are not prepared to read, then be prepared to continue to have problems.
Satan will not give you a break.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

Thje 'god' of this system is Satan.

Answer 8

Yes, depending on the subject. I like detailed answers than a simple, one-worded answer. Essays are frowned upon though.

Answer 9

If they are interesting I do. If it is just cut and paste verses I don't. icarus62 had a long answer earlier this evening. It was so interesting I printed it out and put it in the appropriate notebook for reference.

Answer 10

5 sentences is not an answer, it's a lecture to me. 10 word is more like it

Answer 11

I never read scripture stuff
I never read quran stuff

They aren't opinions! They're just someone's else's opinion cut out and pasted!

I read the rest though, unless it's too religious. (yawn)
