I certainly am. In text. 70 WPM, not afraid to use it to the hilt. Often produce vast tracts of personal thought, that various people on the internet would quickly ascribe to TL;DR territory.
I'm better in person. It has harmed me on dates in the past, so I've learned to watch out for any tendency of mine to ramble on or "information dump" on someone. You could say I've picked up some "social graces" survival skills over the years, because continuous ostracization for bad communication habits doesn't have fun endgames. Not that trying to make accomodation has done me all that much better. My actual social life tends towards face-to-face debate groups.
Long-winded examinations are certainly much more tolerated on INTPf than other places, although they're hardly unknown elsewhere. Long-windedness was certainly well known on historical Usenet newsgroups. That was all very much pre web 2.0, pre Twitter, pre cell phone texting. Pre populist internet for that matter. We remember the invasion of "AOL plebes", fighting over Nettiquete, etc. Usenet was historically closer to a monoculture.
Are INTPs long winded in general, or is it just me? Have you ever met a pithy INTP?
I tend to associate pithiness with 'S'.
I am fully capable of being succinct. I understand the purpose of business communication, or of disengaging from someone because they're wasting your time with long distractions. But my default mode is to examine at great length.

Obviously the ideal situation is just to have someone who cares as much about a topic as you do and you can just endlessly discuss it. I think that is part of the appeal of internet forums too. If you care enough about something to both sign up for a specific forum, and read/respond to a specific thread on that forum then you are probably fairly interested in that subject. You are basically filtering out a lot of the people who would be bored.
