FWIW I thought you articulated that quite well, it helped clarify some things for me. But I do understand your apprehension.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I think perhaps that what I meant by that part was "Oh no, I have already written a lot and I still have more to say. Ah well — farewell brevity! I see now that you were never going to be a part of this runaway comment"
I see, you weren't being as concise as you'd hoped. I get that. I often make long posts too because of how often people misunderstand me I try to anticipate that and head them off in order to not have to get sidetracked re-explaining things. That's me anyways.
A fellow long-winded mdash user fighting ableism? Keep doing the good work! :)
