How Often Do You Erase Something Here?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I usually delete my more amped up posts as time doesn't allow me to sit in the Club and trade shots with folks all day...unlike some people in here.

[Mixability]

allllllllllllllllll the time!

i have to remember to be nice to people before i get a pm from the admins again......

or from batmans cousin asking when i ed his wife.


!

where's the erase button again............?

[td4mvp21]

A lot actually. I type out maybe 10 responses a day and then erase them because I'm just like " it, I don't feel like taking the time to disagree with someone" or "This is worthless information".

Samehere.

[Frenzy]

uh 10%

[The Franchise]

I find myself doing it about ten times a day.

[Summers]

Sometimes I jump the gun and write a really y response to something stupid. Then I think, "maybe they're genuinely ignorant and not trying to be a jackass; or maybe I shouldn't stoop to his level just because I'm butt-hurt; or maybe I shouldn't get into this debate that's going to end up being 12 pages of people being mean to each other..." On average about once a day, I'd say.

[CuckingFunt]

A one or two line response? Never.

Something over a paragraph? Quite a bit.

Ditto.

I can only think of a couple times I've decided against a short reply, and in all cases it was because I realized while typing that my joke wasn't very funny.

Far less often than not posting something I've written, I'll occasionally make a post, immediately regret it, delete it and then pray like that nobody read or quoted it in the 20 seconds it existed.

The worst is when you post something ass ignorant and go back and edit it almost immediately, but in the meantime someones quoted you and pointed out what a dumbass you are. And you're just sitting there with an edited post, looking like a fool and wishing you'd never discovered teh internet message boards in the first place.

I did it twice in this thread.

[Kori Ellis]

Everyday. Multiple times per day.

timvp sometimes deletes/edits the posts I do make too.

That is downright hilarious. Wedded bliss, eh?

[mrsmaalox]

Rarely. I have no interest in questioning people's opinions and thoughts about a great number of things. Also I tend to hold back quite a bit, mostly because one can never be sure who is genuine and who isn't. I mean I'll discuss anything with someone who is sincere in their beliefs, but I won't waste my time when there's a big possibility they may just be trying to evoke a response or "stir the pot". So for the most part, I keep my posts as light and playful as possible and rarely feel a need to erase anything.

[jaffies]

I just caught myself doing it 6 different times in the Spurs forum.

[Brutalis]

The only time I post and think it is irrelevant or ignorant is something to do the Spurs and being pissed at a loss or something. I would have like 10 posts everyday for that alone, but do not. Usually just sit there and groan, backspace everything and exit. Other than that I don't give a really.

I've come to examine how people post and go from there when it's not Spurs related, and rarely feel like editing my post or anything of the sort.

For instance like right now. I wonder how many of you have felt like editing your post or something in this thread. I'd bet 3-5.

[Brutalis]

*** Erased by Slomo ***
Reason: Double post.



I guess this answers your question
--Slomo

[phyzik]

I do that once or twice a day but most of the time I find myself editing one post like 5 times after the original post.

[JudynTX]

2 or 3 times a day

[ashbeeigh]

Every one of my Spurs forum posts..in fear of sounding like an idiot or repeating something that's already been said 100000 times.

In the Club, never (well...no once or twice a week).

[angel_luv]

I just did in my " It's a Cat!" thread.

[sonic21]

i often erase parts my posts in the club, since we can't delete them.

[Dex]

I very rarely stop a post after I've started it. But I do have a nasty habit of Posting a reply without proof reading, or I'll think of something to add right after, so I end up going back and editing just about every other post.

It happened on this one.

[jcrod]

I back track countless times, my post count would probaly be double or triple. I'm too honest in real life, I'm just straight forward. My wife is always telling me to watch what I say. I don't see it as being rude, just the way i would want to answered....truthfully.

[Winehole23]

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.

I dump inferior posts daily, usually without even attempting a rewrite. On a bad day this might happen five times.

[Obstructed_View]

Yep, I start to type something and realize that I either don't care enough about the topic or just don't have anything worth saying that will add to it at least once or twice per visit.

Considering my post count, I'd say I probably do it far too rarely.
