I always seem to assume they'll want to know. Maybe that's an odd habit.

You are referring to beliefs, which should be judged by their truth, not their oddness or the time spent holding them ("habit").

I don't see being less verbose as a good way to convey all relevant information.

Most of the information you present doesn't seem particularly relevant to me, and I expect to others as well. The topics you discuss are important, but it seems possible to summarize central points of your posts in something like 5 times less text, which might result in people actually reading them.
