I tend to start a new line after each sentence or thought.
I did the same thing on Oldsider, and I even got called out for it once.
I never got called out for it, but this.

Your abuse of "..." made you awesome.
Oh, so first plenty of people complain about me using them (not saying you did), and now people begin to miss them?

*Starts to post*
*Decides not to post message*

And that's why I haven't reached 10K yet.
I occasionally do that.

It's a quirk, made you unique.

I generally start to think of a reply, but then decide that i don't feel like posting what i just typed out. Which leads to me not posting as often as most people >_>

It was kind of weird, and made me feel self-conscious. D:
I do the same thing

So stupid to waste time on calling someone out for something so completely harmless...
"Damn their soul to hell for too much spacing, but we'll let this flame war go on, and on, and on..."

Oh, and I also change my mind mid-post & end up not posting at all

And I tend to use dot dot dot a lot ...

Yeah.
I tend to overuse the period.

Zies beat you to it.

Anyway, whenever I quote someone, I press enter twice then star typing.

It wasn't that type of a callout, they just said "Why do you always start a new line for everything?"

Ooooh. I do that too.

I always tend to space out my sentences like this.

I don't find a simple line break enough to separate my thoughts in longer responses, so I usually use a space like other people to separate my thoughts.

I use a slightly larger space to separate directly-unrelated thoughts, as well.



Sometimes when I'm in the mood to post, I feverishly refresh the page and just post stuff in threads I have no interest in...

For some reason I use different levels of seperation of thoughts. Sometimes I just use a period, sometimes I skip one line, and other times two. I've actually been trying to avoid doing that lately.
Also, I tend to start too many things with "also".
I sometimes unintentionally start making my post look like a list.
I used to over use "..." to end, start, or break a sentence and I also used to overuse the ;) smiley a lot... it's very noticeable in my post tracker.
And I sometimes start sentences with the word "and".
Often, I tend to use commas to seperate similar parts of sentences, like this, and then using it again for some other purpose, which tends to make my sentences have like four commas at times, similar to this one.
I have no idea how I ended up making every message in this list apply to it.
...I also tend to edit posts immediately after posting.
