Not necessarily, but they are all undesirable.

Maybe you need to take a deep breath and talk slowly and clearly in words
that we can all understand?  Leave out all the points unrelated to your main
argument for now.  We can cover them later, perhaps.

I know I'm a minimalist sometimes, but part of communicating is leaving
words out.  People don't like reading long essays on mailing lists and will
normally skim through, looking for what the real meaning is.  (Often, I get
that wrong too.)
