Unrelated to anything else ever, why has it taken me well over a year to figure out that the tag "ycros-the-anti-verbose" really just ought to be "ycros-the-succinct"?

MOOP!

Is that a change in stance, though? It's one thing to be succinct, it's another to actively seek out and destroy verbosity.

...or even "ycros-the-laconic"? But mainly only 'cuase i love the word laconic so much ;D

anti-verbose - prime Orwellian Newspeak. Succintifying that is double-plus-good.

The core ethical value that I think is dmeonstrated in the book Seedfolk is respect. I think respect is dmeonstrated because throughout the book, the reader is constantly introduced to characters that come from different lives and are of different racial backgrounds. In the book, other characters may judge one another by there skin color, age, or condition, but sooner or later the characters gain respect for others and lose their prejudice behavior.

Standard antonym of verbose is terse.

Because the succinct doesn't scan as well.
