Pretty much on every religion related thread.
Obviously the whole point of this place is that you can pretty much say whatever the you want, but there are still times when I've typed a reply and just realize it's not worth it and exit the thread. Either it's not adding anything worthwhile to the conversation at hand, or I figure someone's just looking for attention, or I know it could set off a needless storm that I don't have the time or desire to slog through.
, even now I'm wondering how long it will take before this turns into a "I wish X person would erase everything before they post it" thread.
I know it happens about once a day with me. I'm just wondering how often the rest of you guys do that. Are there any topics you can remember causing that?

I know this would come as a shock to most of you but hit the old red button 20-30 times a day here.
I start to reply to a thread and then opt out right before posting it on average about twice per day.
Wow, that is kind of a shock. Hard to picture B2B holding anything back.
If I didn't hold back I'd surely be banned by now.
it happend to me a lot in the initial UTSA hate thread that got shut down and removed (damn shame), but on a day to day basis it might happen once or twice.
and to be honest with you some of the that happens in my life is too unbelievable. I could come in with story after story and it'd inevitably be met with theor typical King comment about how I'm lying or just adding a little B2B e after the fact.
I used to think about what others may think about me and want to use one of my other 2 or 3 usernames but then I decided to with it. I'll just lay it on the line and so be it.
But yes, I have typed a response and then have decided it was badly written or maybe inappropriate.
A one or two line response? Never.
Something over a paragraph? Quite a bit.
Since when has that stopped you?and to be honest with you some of the that happens in my life is too unbelievable. I could come in with story after story and it'd inevitably be met with the
At least three times a week.
All the time (I prefer a low post count).
usually every day this happens to me. Sometimes when it is very long winded and heartfelt, but after proofing, comes off the wrong way. Sometimes when it just doesn't seem appropriate in the context.
If I'm on here all day making maybe 20+ posts, I'll get cold feet at least once or twice. Not always because I'm holding back from some extreme opinion. Usually I look at what I wrote and it's just ty, either mechanically or in its inanity, so I re-write it or don't post it.
If my sole purpose is to stir up some , sometimes I'll think about it.
That's how it usually happens with me. I'll end up at a point where I realize that I've either gotten worked up and have written a rambling response, or that the point I'm trying to make is something where my attempts to be more precise and clear will just give someone more lines to try to read between rather than doing any good at all.
Its not about what others may think of me, its just that its generally about two groups that argue extreme opposites by accusing the other group of behaving towards the subject exactly the way themselves do.

Every once in awhile...
A lot
how about actually making the post, then quickly deleting it? does that count the same?
I actually make it a habit to post long, inane, rambling posts that start on one subject and end with me being even more misanthropic than I started.
This place is therapy for me, not you.
I have deleted an entire post though. Not so much because I care what others think of my writing style or compos ion, but more because I dont want someone or some people to know they piss me off.
Me, too. I do it ALL THE TIME. Too many wads, not enough time I guess.
