How often do you type up a post and then decide to cancel?

[ArmenK]

It seems that more and more, I type up a response to someone and then say fvck it, why am I posting. For example, I was about to cancel this but I posted it.

Oooppps!

 

[meltdown75]

i've done it a few times for sure.

 

[myusername]

As often as you repost

 

[Kalvin00]

I used to do it more often than I do now..

 

[icejunkie]

I've done it a few times... wouldn't you all love to know, eh?

i hate when I type a long post and accidently type "fvck" but with a U - and then I try to submit and it says my post contains a censored word AND ERASES MY ENTIREP POST AND I CANT GO BACK :| :| :|

I do it all the time. I must be pretty damn self-conscious of myself and lack confidence in my speech, because I've probably done that a thousand times.

Pretty often, actually. Sometimes it's just not worth the effort to keep up with your posts.

 

[moshquerade]

rarely

 

[FoBoT]

normally that only happens to me on an OP, not a response, you don't get close to 25K by chickening out

Doesn't do that to me.

Sometimes. Other times I think about it and decide ah, why not.

 

[elmer92413]

I often type something...
And then I read it and it just doesn't sound right...
So I don't post...
...
I also try to have quality over quanity...
...
For instance I erased this line and revised it twice...

 

[JoeKing]

never, why the hell would I waste time typing out a post and not post it?

 

[mundane]

Out of about every three I type up, only one actually gets posted. After reviewing the contents, I see that my post won't actually contribute much substance to the discussion and I just cancel it.

I do this A LOT. Sometimes, one will slip by and I'll end up with a one-week vacation.

I cancel posts a bit. When I realize what I'm saying will just lead to an internet argument.

All the time. My post count would be at least 30% if I didn't.
