They're all first drafts of ill thought out drivel, but, yes, I do carefully construct them most of the time. I try to keep to passable grammar and will go back and edit mistakes out with usually at least one pass-through. I find myself sticking to general opinion threads; I've been treating the Escapist like a video games related journal pretty much--it is kind of fun to go back once in a while to see how you thought in the past. Not much of a journal, I don't post my dark secrets and I sanitize everything I put out. But, yeah, I put a fair amount of care into my posts because I want to more clearly understand how I think; there's self-study going on here. Unremarkable self-study, but it's happening nonetheless. I tend to avoid posting jokes because I find it very difficult to craft something funny in text. I'm more of a visual gimmick and vocal delivery guy.
Examples: In the above post: 1) I changed but to put; 2) I changed oral to vocal; 3) I changed not very interesting to unremarkable--my sentences are always so long; 4) Corrected typos and spelling errors; 5) I reread the above post once before posting; 6) Added some clarifying words that likely weren't needed; 7) Changed adding to added in the previous point.
