POLL: Do you ever type out a reply to a thread, then just hit the back button and forget about it?

Alll the freaking time. Especially when I'm about to lash out in anger and aren't thinking clearly.

Sometimes I write something, then realize that the person I'm replying to is a brain-dead retard, and it isn't worth my time.

I do it all the time...b/c my fobiness comes out sometimes and I totally have no clue what i'm writing about. Or other times when I feel like my replies are too dumb or off topic or just blah. Yep...I edit a lot too (more for the first reason i stated than anything tho).

I do this all the time. I think my post count would have doubled if I had submitted every reply I type out but hit the back button instead. :p

I do that a lot. I'll type out a reply and realize that I have no idea what I'm talking about.

sometimes I'll type out a reply and then think, ehhh, who gives a sh*t or I don't really care to be flamed and i'll just push "X" instead.

most of the replies here are usually some form of
-you're stupid/ignorant/a fool/a liberal
-ricers suck
-who cares

I frequently reply to threads and forget about my reply. Thne I'll come back a few days later and read it without looking at the name and think "Heh, that is pretty funny!" then I see the poster... :)
