Paragraphs are fun. They require little effort to use. However, I've noticed that an alarming number of Agnostic's userbase appears to not know they exist. With that in mind, I would like to give a demonstration.
You see what I did there? I put a space between the sentence above and this one. It's not even necessary to follow the rules of the language, you don't need a reason to start a new paragraph.
So let's not focus on that, instead let's focus on why we break up our long, sometimes rambled arguments into paragraphs.
This format makes it immensely more easy to read. When you chain together a massive block of text without breaking it up with paragraphs, you run several risks.
One: I'll be honest, you look like a crazy person penning a manifesto.
Two: It's harder for the reader to easily jump to the next line. By rule, people are lazy. The harder you make your diatribe to read, the less likely it is to be read.
Three: You will be taken less seriously if people assume you can't even hit enter twice to better separate your thoughts.
I've noticed a lot of users on either extreme of the age spectrum most needed this friendly suggestion. However, age is not the only factor.
To better demonstrate my point. I have taken everything I've written in this post and taken out paragraphs below. Feel free to compare and contrast.
