What a strawman. You guys disagree with Mod opinions all the time.

You guys don't agree on anything.

Being a mod is fun.

I wouldn't act any differently if I were a mod on here.

I have a serious question for you guys:

When you read my written blog posts, the ones that have long chunks of writing, do you find them clear and easy to read? Or do you find the langauge unclear, awkward, or hard to read?

I am asking whether my writing style needs improvement.

@Leo Guraeasy for me to get it and read it. I ususlly read them several times to get the important insights you are pointing to and how do I integrate that into my work and life.

Clear, easy. Prose flows. I think you avoid unnecessary verbosity and select the simplest most succinct words. The substance of the posts are complex enough without needing the additional cognitive labour of tracking a sentence with multiple commas, parenthesis or pauses. Short and sharp.

I think the writing is most effective when you begin with super short sentences and gradually lengthen them. Unsure if this is consciously done, but it's impactful.

I also find it clear and easy to read.

I love the fact that the posts are often straight-to-the-point. Most other blogs you read out there are made of huge posts often conveying less insights or information.

Writing style seems good.

It's clear and easy enough to notice the slightly-frequent typos 

But seriously, I always liked your more straight-forward sorta everyday-language sort of writing.
