What I mean is, have you ever clicked on a thread, read the description and decided not to comment on it because it sounds like it's too complicated or you're just afraid you'd say something that would be considered insesitive?
Has the content of a thread ever made you NOT post in it?

Yes. Every day. This is usually common forum practice. If a topic doesn't interest myself, then I don't post in it.
Simple as that.

Constantly, especially in the Religion/Politics forum. I feel strongly about a lot of things, but maybe not strongly enough to stick around for a lengthy argument.
Also, if someone else has made the point I was going to make, I'll probably decide it's not necessary for me to make the same point.

Very often...I will often start typing in my opinions and thoughts on a particular matter and at the last moment think "aah, what't the point?". Then delete the whole thing
Quite a lot actually. Mainly on touchy subjects. This is due to the fact that I am quite immature and I would post something that would probably anger at least one person and almost certainly get me in deep Mod wrath. I just keep my mouth shut, and don't type.
Of course I have. I have many times in the past begun writing or finished writing a decent-ish reply only to give up and quit the thread.
Not so much the content of the thread, but the amount of it. If it's more than two pages long, I tend to assume my lil comment would be either redundant, or lost in the shuffle, like whispering to a crowd.
Sometimes I click on a topic cause the title looks interesting and then I see it's something stupid that I'm not interested in. I don't post in such topics. And there's plenty of them. But I'm never afraid to post in a topic. And internet topic aren't really complicated. At least not for me.
Yes, if the argument is too complicated or if I feel there's nothing I can do to contribute or don't feel a need to contribute then I won't post.
Similarly if it's about a subject matter I am disinterested in or even outright dislike, I won't bother the people with an interest in it.

I do this more or less half of the time.MetalPhoenix said:
I start typing a fairly lengthy post, get to the end, read it through then go "...F**k it, that sounds so bloody stupid." then delete the post and go somewhere else.
Probably back to Forum Games and RP or a group.
That. Or "I know I'm gonna get some serious 'feedback' on this and I'm in no mood to dicuss this right now."Sassafrass said:
And just giving an opinon without defending it is pretty useless (unless it's a useless thread allready
