How often do you type a reply...

[AbAbber2k]

I'd probably have twice the post count if I submitted all my replies. Most of the time my reasons for not clicking "Reply" are because I realized what I typed was either stupid, unrelated (whoops wrong thread) or just really really vulgar. I'm guessing the boards would benefit more if everyone had this issue.

5-10%...

Otherwise editing is my friend... :laugh:

[MX2]

Actually, I have done this a number of times.

 

[pyonir]

5-10 is what i voted for...but it's really like less than 1% of the time.

 

[atybimf]

Quite often.

 

[CKent]

5-10% sounds about right. Editing, on the other hand, occurs in probably 80% of my posts.

 

[Goosemaster]

n/m

 

[jlee]

5-10%.

Typically an instant reaction to something..then I think again and keep my mouth shut.

Touche, good sir!

But seriously, I do this all the time and I wasn't sure if I was alone.

10% to 20%. I often start to make a P&N post in a P&N thread, and realize what the hell I was about to do.

ditto.

 

[fustercluck]

I do it from time to time, and it's a good thing i do or else i would have made some really stupid comments. I've often backed out of making dumb threads too, some pretty long ones.

 

[imported_LoKe]

About, 10-20% of the time if the Mod light is on.

 

[Martin]

quite often in P&N. Usually because I don't want to bother typing out everything I want to say, or because I realize I don't want to get into a long discussion about something I don't care that much about.

but OT is much more mindless and most posts are only a sentence or two, so I don't hesitate much here.

 

[Bryophyte]

Some days, it's close to 50%.

 

[pyonir]

Never still has zero votes. Goosemaster hasn't been in here yet then. Or would that have to be "how often do you type a really stupid thread..."

 

[mpitts]

I do it all the time.. Mostly because I don't want to start a flame war that I won't be able to attend.

happens sometimes when i'm reading a controversial thread.
i'll feel like getting my thoughts out so i will type a response, but i also don't want to get involved if it is too crazy, so i won't post it.

[arcenite]

happens quite often... i start typing something that seems funny as hell, and when i'm done I ask myself what the ****** is wrong with me.... like that guy who roundhouse kicked some poor girl and thinks he is funny

Same here. It's gotten to the point where I never post in P&N and just post a bunch of idiotic drivel in OT.

~10-20 percent of the time.
