How often do you type replies and don't post them because you're worried about what others will think or how "good" the post really is?
I do this all of the time. At the last minute I'll just decide not to post it.
Every once inawhile. But I tend to know whether or not I'm going to post in the thread or not...so it doesn't become an issue really for me.
Sometimes I start posting and then decide it's pointless or badly written or I can't think exaclty how to word it.
3/4s of my posts are ones I probably shouldn't have even made for the very reason you listed. Then again, I don't really care how good they end up being. However, I do sometimes make a reply and realise halfway through that I've lost track of my point or I just can't figure out how to properly say what I want... and that probably happens one in every twenty posts I guess. So do the math.
I've done it several times. Mostly because I feel like nobody is going to read what I type anyway. Or if they do, they will completely miss my point.
I'd say about half of my posts never end up getting posted, actually. I didn't post what I wrote in the thread I read before this one.
I used to do this very often. Now I abort posting very rarely.
This was once a trend of mine.
Now I could care less.
HALF OF MY POSTS WILL BE GONE THE NEXT DAY ANYWAYS
I do it all the time - mainly when making threads. I suppose I feel as if I am making waaay too many or no one will respond. I remember when I was a newbie I was freaking out about people not responding to my thread and I'd get so ****ed off and emo. :(
I don't do this as much as I used to, but sometimes I won't be able to find a good way to word something or everything will feel so sluggish and unlike me that I won't want to post it.
I pretty much never do this. The only exceptions are when I find myself mistaken in what I am about to say, or decide there's no need to post in the first place.
This happens with most of my posts.
Hey, I wonder if I should post this or not. I don't knwo what otehrs might think of it.
Well, only sometimes, do I do this.
Damnit, there's no clever way of saying "this one".
I rarely do it because I think about what I want to post before I click submit reply, but it did happen that in the end I just said '**** it'
Never. On the occasion that I do start to type a post, it's always sent.
Sometimes I feel that my post is just an unnecessary reiteration. Other times I feel lazy to complete the post. Most of the time, though, I can't find the words.
I do it often.
If the subject is serious and I don't know about the subject, I tend not to post it. Because chances are that usually those half-arsed guesses will make me look like an idiot.
Otherwise, I don't do it.
I usually do it because I either forget what I was going to say, or I can't find the words to say it.
