I noticed that responses and self-posts in this sub are getting really long. I know that many of us have a lot of pent-up stuff to say and share with like-minded individuals, and that Roosh preaches the art of rambling, and that not every website on the Internet is Twitter... but brevity really is the soul of wit.
And don't worry about not fully expressing some idea. You can pack a lot into just a few sentences. Dávila wrote whole books exclusively with aphorisms ("The writer who has not tortured his sentences tortures his reader."). We could also drop disclaimers. There are mostly intelligent people here. And really, do we want to have a discussion with someone who requires two paragraphs of qualifications, should they misread something?
So how 'bout cutting those texts a little and adding clarifications if and when confusion arises? Let's not turn the red pill into homoeopathy.

Comments should be like mini skirts- long enough to cover the essentials and short enough to be interesting

Maybe some TL;DR, but I don't mind the long posts.

The conversion process turns the world, and simultaneously "Your world."^^^TM right on its fucking head. This can be extremely jarring for most and I do not mind the venting at all. TL;DR - If you really want to help a new convert you'll listen to them ramble.

Hear! Hear! on "Drop Disclaimers". There may be nothing more axiomatic of our Feminized society then the prevalence of monitory fluff in public & private speech.

Agreed. Look, one thing that might help is not to confuse us with propagandists. We're not here to convince anyone, you're here because you're already convinced. If you could leave, we don't want you here. The door is here: We're not pulling you in, we're pushing you out. Have a few laughs at our expense, Pagliacci.
This, in itself, should encourage a better, more concise, less bullshit manner of speaking. I don't care if you like me. I'm not a good person, and it doesn't even matter if I said I was. I say what I believe is true.

Eh, it's not that good really. Their satire is from an anti-market ideology, so they think it's funny that we bread down sexuality into an economic market.
But check it out, it's a thing, and it's not just us saying it. The bigger picture is that you can't understand the economy without understanding the sexual market: For instance, the big business of the wedding industry makes no sense if you don't take into account erotic capital.
And Machiavelli isn't wrong, and writes from an era before the matrix. Doesn't mean that we prescribe beating women, that this is something I would ever condone; but that there is often arousal and love involved when women are dominated in such an overt fashion is well-testified.
One thing to keep in mind is the difference between description and prescription. The red pill is description, game is prescription. It's a fact that serial killers have easier access to poon than regular guys, doesn't mean that we recommend mass killings. But even red pillers become a bit bitter when men graduate from omega to alpha through a shooting spree.

Not everyone who isn't a gold bug is anti-market. But either way, the fact that it's kinda true makes it good satire.
Unlike "How to "Cure a Feminist" from Maxim!" which is completely off base. No one here cares about Maxim. Or "No self-respecting sexthing would go out without make-up" which just shows they didn't read the article, merely substituted one word.

Good point. I forget to self Précis, to write something and then shorten it before posting. Here's a quick guide to précis http://homeworktree.com/precis
