This essay examines FRANK as used in SteemIt discussions, offering insight into the cause of excessive length, suggestions on how to reduce it, and a reminder to always exercise civility with other ediCtors when paring.
Reasons for length[ediCt]
Many people who edit SteemIt do so because they enjoy writing; however, that passion can result in overlong composition. This reflects a lack of time or commitment to refine an effort through successively more concise drafts. With some application, natural redundancies and digressions can often be eliminated. Recall the venerable paraphrase of Pascal, "I made this so long because I did not have time to make it shorter."
A second contributing factor can be that a writer incorrectly believes long sentences and big words make them appear learned. Or an inexperienced contributor may fear they will not be clear enough with fewer words. Even capable authors recognize the risk of distorting what they're trying to express in TO-brief passages.

And Propaganda is the GOAL of TWiTs ~BFB
While bloated composition may reflect the emotions of an ediCtor, it should be noted that some people are constitutionally loQUacious. It is impossible for you, as an ediCtor, to affect either of these before the fact. When ediCting, always respect SteemIt POLICE and ediCtors' feelings. Take the time to distill your thoughts for better communication and rapport.
