Dear reader,
Thank you for your most interesting question. Writing is a 2-way street. It is nothing without the reader with whom you communicate.
So the question becomes, why are your words not clear to your intended audience?
We all experience varied reactions to our posts....some understand & enjoy, some understand & object, yet others fail to understand or even connect.
A one-size-fits-all approach cannot succeed, so first, you must decide whom you're addressing. If speaking to like minded people, you may presume
areas of common understanding, & address a reduced set of issues. But if speaking to the loyal opposition, one ought to first establish areas of
agreement, from which you may efficiently explore areas of disagreement. Trickier still is to converse with less sophisticated poster, who has
trouble catching nuance, dry humor, arcane terms, literary references, sarcasm, complex grammar & difficult concepts. Then, one must dwell
more on basics, & adopt a simpler vocabulary of words & imagery.
Of course, the above tips barely scratch the surface of the complexities & conundrums of human communication. Having just completed a survey
of your posting history, I recommend that you practice identifying your target audience, & tailoring your posts to them. Consider thoroughly
(& without emotional reaction) the feedback you receive, & adjust your style. Another related thing to consider is whether a particular audience
is worthy of your time & effort. At times, you will meet fellow posters whom it is best to avoid, either when they're in a bad mood, or even entirely.
You might soon find that others consider you to be silver tongued & brilliantly insightful. Naturally, you will be hated for this, but such is the lot of the gifted writer.
Please, update me on your progress, for I care, & live to serve.
