Ok three things:
1. I know that the criticisms can of course still be valid after 9 months without them - I didn't say that.
I am just seriously asking, wondering: If this is really such an issue, why has it taken 9 months and nearly 3000 months to be told? I'm not saying they're invalid...I'm just wondering....how can people be oblivious for that long and for that many posts? I'm just wondering...
2. I'm not being defensive in the sense I'm not remotely annoyed or pissed off. If by defensive you mean that I simply disagree with what some has been said (or I at least have questions and a separate opinion' then by that definition I guess I'm 'defensive'.
3. Finally and most importantly: The constructive criticism I've been given and that's fine. And you can, of course, keep at it too. I do try my absolute best to improve myself. I've just got so much going on in my head at once, when trying to improve one area I forget the next (and my 4 second memory is really bad, so that doesn't exactly help) - so if you're suggesting I'm not making an effort then you couldn't be more wrong.
And any effort I don't make....I try to. I do my best. I've got a lot going on in my head.
But anyway additional advice is fine. Whether I'll agree or not is a different matter.
P.S: If I don't agree with a comment it doesn't mean I'm not listening. And if I misunderstand something it's not intentionally.
P.P.S: I don't see what's weak by pointing out that I don't believe I have a high fluff ratio if that's one of the issues. And as I said - I still just wonder why it has taken 9 months of me being here and nearly 3k posts to be informed of this issue if it's really such an issue? I'm just wondering: How could it not be noticed?? I've been like this the whole time for the whole 9 months. I'm just wondering: What's suddenly changed, or how was everyone so 'unaware' this whole time or...if they were aware - why wasn't this brought up as an issue, earlier?
