That's one of the reasons I still have my LJ.  There are certain thoughts and 
ideas that A) need more than a brief, pithy comment to properly express and B) 
don't really want the world at large to read anyway.

It isn't that I mind tweeting, etc., per se; I indulge in it myself now and 
again.  It isn't even that I mind the "Short Attention Span Theater" aspect of 
it - someone raised on cartoons and mac and cheese has no room to talk.  :-)  
But when folks start taking the attitude that anything longer than a sentence 
is "tl;dr" territory, it's mildly frightening, I think.
