Do long posts put people off?

[align=center][div style="text-align:justify;width:55%;font-size:10pt;font-family:verdana"]So, I've noticed that threads with shorter starts seem to get more interest and as someone who often writes fairly long starters when the mood hits me (6+ paragraphs), I was wondering whether people would prefer shorter posts?

Side note : does anyone read a tl;dr? I put one on a super long thread for a body change and it didn't seem to help the issue.

This is honestly curiousity. I might just be bad at roleplaying /shrugs & I don't mean any offense I'm just trying to make my posts,, more accessible? Idk.
