Thread: Write it then delete

I have noticed over the past month or so I have typed out many a comment only to have a second thought and delete it. I really dont know why. I do know sometimes its alcohol.

Anyone else notice they are composing, typing, and then just saying fcuk it, and deleting what you have written. Or is it just me.

Erm, no, I wish I did sometimes though.

I think I'm gonna start hiding the batteries in my keyboard after 10 PM

I go to post then one of my personalities will start arguing with another and after a while I just say fukk it and shut down, am I normal ?

Just did it. Seriously.
Gotta watch what you say anymore.
Everybody is watching these days.

^^ you're not normal.

^^&^^^^ I suspect this is common behaviour; we start being kind and not wanting to offend other posters; I do it all the time...

Its called alz.............. something, Ive forgotten the name,

*Deleted*

I do it regularly. Reason is because what I've written will get someones back up and I can do without a slanging match.

thanks for the quick responses.

Sometimes you realize you've just typed a post in response to something idiotic that will pull you into a ridiculous shit-fight that will waste your time unnecessarily (and come to no satisfying conclusion) so you say, 'Fuck it- it's not worth it' and delete it instead.

I must say that I delete a post very rarely. I do like to convey that I am human and sometimes think dumb shit shit hence whilst I very rarely fight with posters these days.

Its good to liberate ones self by realizing that sometimes ones opinions are shit.

Ive been contributing to Teak Door many years and have semi matured along with this forum.

Thats a debatable point.

I think you should have followed AO's lead on that post

Why would that be Doc ?

You being a superior poster maybe and beyond redemption ?

I find myself typing a response to one of Smeg's posts and then realize, like he did when he was trying to live in Thailand that I should come to my senses and delete the post as a complete and utter waste of time.

I don't do it very often. However the other day, when I was about half way through a very long and detailed response to a snide one-liner from a poster with a brain like a goldfish, I caught myself, mentally said, "What the fuck are you doing?", and deleted it unsent. He wouldn't have understood it anyway. It was, from the beginning, doomed to be a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

^ agreed SEA, but at the same time its been on my brain for a while. Add a heavy work load, no holidays and you get this. Now go have a beer in the jacuzzi part of your pool.

It shows that this isn't a throwaway medium and that you respect it - as we all do.

I feel it is my duty as an Englishman to let all of you lesser persons know that you're posting bollocks, and if you get your knickers in a twist because of it, then that's your own fault for not being English, Southern English or ultimately from Bedfordshire.

No. All the cleverer people live in nice big houses in the country, not the smelly city.

Idiot!

smelly city!!

it is pure and lovely

those so-called "cleverer" people have to travel for hours on smelly trains or M25s to get to work - not so clever

I just don't bother writing anything or thinking of commenting in the first place !
