::Just because a single explain, filling up the entire screen, on a comic needing more than 500 explains would just die in the mass of posts. TL;DR is just a simple reaction most viewers do.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:47, 27 August 2013 (UTC) | ::Just because a single explain, filling up the entire screen, on a comic needing more than 500 explains would just die in the mass of posts.

:::I'm forced to disagree, Dgbrt. Obviously it would be a problem if we had an answer that long for every single question there, but we won't: The section is title "''selected'' answers," and even if we answered every single question, most of them aren't complex enough to warrant answers of that length. I just picked two questions I found very interesting and complicated, and tried to answer them. Also, I'm not sure what your point is about TL;DR—if readers find an answer too long, and don't read it, so what? Their loss. They can always just scroll past it if they don't care.<p>Now, obviously, if you'd like to make some constructive cuts to parts of my answers that seem extraneous, by all means please do; this ''is'' a wiki, after all. But I must say, when it comes to stuff like this in the future, I hope you work on taking a less adversarial tone. This is what we'd call a "content dispute" (if we really had such things on this project), and you're treating it like I've breached some policy. That is to say, you're coming to my talk page and leaving me a note that sounds like you're enforcing some rule or other, when really it's just that you disagree with my approach to an explanation.
