Do you ever type a post then delete it?

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I'm just curious.

I find a lot of times i see a thread with some tripe going back and forth and I want to say something...i'll even sometimes write up a post. But then i dont post or say anything.


Usually I think about it for a second and realize what's the point. People are saying dumb stuff and fighting over it and i'm just not going to be able to bring them out of that.

So i move on.

Do you do this?

 

[strollingbones]

i did it all the time....esp if i am upset...then i reflect on the post...sometimes i hit post..sometimes i just move on...

I do it all the time. It happens when I'll read part of a post or skim it, then write a scathing reply and then check the original post that pissed me off and go, oh shit, that person is actually agreeing with me, then hurry off to delete my post.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I do both of those as well

usually they are the angry posts i delete.

I find that 75% of the time i'll read an angry post of mine the next day and think "what a jackass I was" Maybe I should use that delete function .

Yup.
Matter of fact I had a two paragraph post I just wrote on the subject.

But I deleted it.

Rorschach approves.

Do you do this?

Yes, it happens often.



Especially when I'm working, I start to say something or think of something to say and then I am unable to finish because of a distraction or I reconsider my thoughts and then just - delete - NEVERMIND!

Yep.. All the time, just as soon as I remember that rocks have no reasoning power.. Sometimes I hit submit, tho, anyway, thinking I can change something..

 

[Xenophon]

Sure, but I see most people do it also.

Normally I will dump it and think 'why bother.'

It didn't... until I read this post. Now, I will think about that every time I see a ppv post even after he/she changes the avatar.

Yes, I write posts all the time and then delete them. Usually, it is when I get pissed off at someone like I did the other day with RGS or today with LL. Everyone thinks I'm such a nice guy and never (well almost never) say anything mean, but if I couldn't erase everything I type before I hit "submit reply", y'all would know the truth about me and the truth would not be very pretty.
