Poll: Ever done this?

[Levi93]

there was a thread quite recently about "what was invented in your country", i didnt comment in that thread for this reason.

 

[VargRaev]

Quite alot, mostly because i dont want to make people angry,i hate having to get out of an argument i started myself, other times because i just cant find the right way to put my sentences...

it actually took me around 8 minutes to write this post.

 

[Vrach]

See, I started writing a response, but then got the urge to back out. Still, considering it's what's discussed, as little as it may add to the discussion value, yes, I do

 

[Weslebear]

Yes I do that all the time, I'm oddly nervous about conversing with anyone, even if it is through the veil of anonymity.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Yeah, usually because it doesn't read quite right.

 

[Wieke]

Nearly did it just now, when deciding whether or not to post this.

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Yes sometimes the posts I am about to make are a tad on the offensive side. I dont want to get banned like a previous account of mine.

 

[Mr Companion]

Yes, but not as often. Because I don't post here as often. I dont know why im saying this though I mean its not adding to the- DAMN there it is again!

 

[lacktheknack]

If I rewrite the comment three or four times, but STILL can't add a decent amount of tact, into the garbage it goes.

This is why my comments are somewhat rare (and often a bit barbed) in the R&P section.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

I've done it from time to time. It's nowhere near a regular occurrence, though.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Yes, but not that often. And I bet about half the people reading this thread just did the same.

 

[Denamic]

I often start typing comments and then realize they're shit comments.
Sometimes, I post them anyway.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

All the time. You would have thought that would make the quality of what I do post higher, but no.

 

[Scde2]

I type something in pretty much any thread I read but I'll randomly decide if I'll post it or not.

 

[kouriichi]

Yeeeep. Ussually the reason is that responding to the person is pointless, because theyer idiots.

No offence to most people on the site, but there are quite a few......

"People of lesser intelligence" on this site, as with almost all.

 

[Edorf]

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that all the comments here are "Yes, all the time." ?

 

[jamradar]

Yes.

Its usually for one of three reasons:

1. I dont know enough about the topic.
2. I dont feel like getting flamed for my opinion.
3. I start then get sidetracked and forget what I was going to post.

 

[Jaranja]

"I don't know enough about this to debate it."

Yup. It's usually this one for me.

 

[Best of the 3]

A lot. Usually in fear of mod wrath if it's a touchy subject.
