I could have made that two sentences technically but that would look stupid and just expose that everything after that comma is needless filler.

If "everything after the comma is needless filler," then I suggest removing it. I don't know about your posts in other threads, but your posts here are quite verbose and a lot of words you use could be removed, keeping most of the meaning.
Example:

If you want to know what conversation was about(,) you could read the thread and find out for yourself. This particular conversation (It) is like five pages at most. I will tell you that nothing in here is a big deal.

Just because you have the freedom to use as much words as you can in text doesn't mean you have to use as many words as possible to get your message across.

but never provide examples of it happening

There are many examples but the biggest one that comes to my mind is people from bp derailing the femcel shooter thread from late of last year with gender war bullshit.
The thread was going quite fine up until that moment, people were digging up information about the shooter, elements that lead to the shooting and people surrounding the shooter; alas, after it got derailed by gender war shit it never recovered resulting in the thread being locked.

I appreciate your attempts to help me write in a manner that is more pleasing to you, but writing this way gives me joy.

I frankly get joy from writing like the members of the Soyjak.Party thread because of how retarded it is, but I don't write like that outside of that thread because I know regular users don't like it and it's hard to read through if you aren't acclimmated to it. IMO if you are going to be on a public forum you should write for the convenience of its users, not just for yourself. For example, this message:
Neodanthril powiedział(a):
Man, I can't win for losing. I get called names on like my second post ever on the site for not using punctuation marks and now the punctuation marks are the problem. But seriously, That's a good question I don't know why I do that. The only thing I can think of is I read a lot of books where they would do that kind of stuff but I definitely couldn't tell you which one. Best reason I can say I did it in the example you listed is because everything before the comma is technically a complete sentence and the grammar rule I remember is that commas are used to separate independent clauses that are still in some way connected. I could have made that two sentences technically but that would look stupid and just expose that everything after that comma is needless filler. The comma I used earlier in this post I definitely used because that is definitely a grammatical style I have seen in a bunch of books.

It's a long string of text with no breaks, making it hard to read through. I'm not saying you have to put a line break between every sentence, but paragraphs are multiple sentences for a reason. If I were your pre-post editor:

Point is you aren't on a blog, you are on a public forum with other users beside you reading your posts; you should be mindful of others when posting.

What is passive aggressive about that? He tried to help me and that's nice, but I like the way that I write things.

this thread is both the only place on this website where I've ever gotten complaints about how I write my posts for something other than not using punctuation at all, and this thread contains the highest level of hostility ever directed at me in my entire time of being on this website. Hardly an incentive to change. And let's say I do acquiesce to your request and make my posts shorter. Now people complain that my laconic posts are low effort shitposts or are hostile. Then what am I to do? Better if I just do my own thing and not twist myself into knots to please others because you simply can't please all of the people all of the time. And again out of the thousands of posts I've made across hundreds of threads only two people have ever complained about my writing style so it would be silly to change just to please the two of you.

You are right about spacing and when I'm at my desktop I'm better about indenting paragraphs and such but on the phone it's enough of a chore to get the words out.

it was nice having a pleasant conversation with you for a short time. Now that you are back to your usual self I will no longer be replying

Shouldn't have this been a sign to at least slightly change how you post? If the Soyjak.party refugee posters can do this when yelled at outside of their thread, I'm sure an oldfag like you could do so as well.

This should have been a sign to you to bow out of the thread, or at least stop posting in this thread. Why keep posting in this thread if you are faced with hostility? I wouldn't post in the Ukraine thread if I supported Russia, for example.

Do you know this from experience or is this just a prediction? If this is a prediction:
  1. You won't know until you try
  2. The length of a post doesn't determine its shitpost/hostility status, its content does.
Theoretically, I could write an essay about how "actually, Beauty Parlor and Null's deferrence to them ruined Kiwi Farms" and post it here; even though it definitely wouldn't be laconic, it would still be a hostile shitpost by its very nature, considering the thread we are in right now.
