No. My other post was a response to someone else's post. My point wasn't related. I didn't even know double posting was considered 'wrong'. If it is, then I would have a lot to regret; if it was worth regretting it. Which it isn't, because there are no negative repercussions.s0denone said:

Hmmm... that's not something I want to think about too long. Needless to say, now and again I'll make a post I regret that I can't take back... usually entering into a complicated banter when I just wanted to post my opinion and move on. That's not really how the internet works, and I know that, but I always end up doing it anyway.
On DeviantArt, I have a terrible habit of not thinking enough about my post before I post it, and my favourite artists mistake me for a troll and try to defend themselves, and their fans try to defend them, and I have to explain to everybody that "no, I didn't mean that!"

You seem incredibly eager to underline that you have no regrets because the Internet doesn't matter. I share your opinion, but maybe you should tone it down a little... It smells like overcompensating.molesgallus said:
How can you not know double posting is considered silly, when there's an "EDIT" button right below your own posts? What you did was not "wrong", but simply "stupid". I mean, you wrote two posts barely containing two sentences when put together, instead of the editing the first to shove in that extra "And also, on topic: [...]".
Overcompensating what?s0denone said:
I didn't feel my thread response, and my response to that user were connected. So I didn't connect them. The edit button could be used for many things, not just splicing unrelated comments together.
March Madness. Bioware vs. Valve. Well not so much what I posted as much as my posting in the thread.
How does a thread that started out so well mannered burn so brightly?
I'm just glad that thread is gone. On the up side it doubled my post count.
Now if you excuse me.

There's one post that got me a probation. I only regret posting it because I won't get the Matrix badges anytime soon.
I love you for that.WINDOWCLEAN2 said:
OT: Yea, once. Let's just say anime/manga fans don't like it when you insult their favorite series. So much hate...Almost considered just leaving the escapist after that. Though I did learn my lesson- stay away from those sorts of threads. period.
I don't regret any posts. Though the amount of times I'll type out a really long post, read through it, edit it, then decide it's either irrelevant or unnecessary is astounding.
I expect my post count would be at least another couple of hundred higher if I didn't self moderate so much. I'm exactly the same in person.

Yeah, back in my early days of posting back before I had learned to be respectful I was much more rude and highly strung and aggressive. Largely I blame myself for exposing myself to youtube comments first but either way when I try to read my earliest posts, I always wince.
I don't have a flawless record, but I have never been scolded by moderators nor have I been made to feel like a moron. I have had my mind changed from time to time on an issue, which I suppose I could interpret as "my previous opinion was one that could only be held by an idiot" but I never seem to look at it that way.
