I'd Rather Get To Know You Than Small Talk

There's been a rash of people lately on SW who complain about people who "write too much" or "long stories" or/but if they have nothing to do, they log on and say things like "Hi" and nothing else, or say "I 'm bored - talk to me" or fill their entry with silly statements, questions or jokes.

As many people know, I am a writer by nature. I have many friends on SW (most of them holdovers who have moved on here from EP with me, the others met on here). If you object to the length of my post, or anyone else's, you are not obligated to read whatever we have to say. If you don't "know what to say" read the "Miscellaneous" posts, pick a topic someone else has written in it,post a response, and join in. Who knows, you could make a new friend. It's not necessary to chat about nothing at all. If I feel strongly about the topic, or am asked a question, or challenged in my belief, I will probably respond.

Let's not complain unnecessarily about each other. We're here to make friends. Empty chat gains us nothing.
