Start a post and be like, nope, not a good post, and just exit out of the thread? I do it all the time
-
was this one that you decided idgaf and just clicked post?
-
Yes
-
Yeah, I've spent 5+ minutes perfectly wording a long post only to delete it. The funny thing about this thread is that I think we'll be able to pick out all the posters who delete a lot of posts and those who don't delete any.

That's usually when it happens to me. Particularly when I think of some argument in my head and then I look up stats to back it up only the stats don't jive with the argument, so I like "welp, :dunno:." Then I just exit out.
-
I'm usually like, wow this is so witty and then when I read it out loud I'm like gross nope
-
it has happened, but not frequently. i don't usually back out for style, but every once in a while i decide i should fact check an argument before i post.
-
I'm usually on my phone, so sometimes I'll be halfway through a post and then be too lazy to finish it.
-
Sometimes, I start and then think, "Aw eff it, no one wants to hear that." Which is kind of interesting because other times I deliberately try to post things that people have no interest in. Totally mood dependent.
-
Nope.
-
I usually just post the first thing that comes to mind. Luckily for you guys it's usually a great post.
-
I do this all the time, hence my post count.
-
50% at least
-
I've also thought about starting this very thread a dozen or so times but deleted it every time.
-
guilty
-
I do this a lot. If I posted everything I typed out I'd have like 5,000 posts. Instead I have like 700.
-
Yes, 50 percent. It's usually mean or gpcy things and I self censor
-
Often
-
only when I think I'm trying too hard
-
i do especially in the pit. I'll rip apart someone and then be like "that's mean and I don't even really care about that issue very much, I'd rather just be buds" and delete it.
-
Being mean in the pit is your God given right bro
-
Being mean in the pit is your God given right bro
god didn't give you crap
-

Should have backed out of that post

take it to the pit, libtard
-
That was a great post I made there.
-
I assume most of you have drafted some really mean posts directed at me but then decide, "if I make fun of dobber, he might stop posting and that would ruin it for everyone. Kind of like what happened with beams." Then you hit delete.
I am in the "delete" camp on several posts that I have written.
Gonna win 'em all!

see what I mean!
Gonna win 'em all!
-
I also write a lot of posts where I'm really sucking up to sd, but I delete most of them because sometimes it's just too much.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
No it's not
-
Nope.
zeal!
-
Nope.
Way to take it easy on yourself wacky
-
:)
-
Sometimes I'll think "that's the best rough ridin' post ever" and nobody will say a thing. Then I'll post some gross piece of crap and people seem to enjoy it.
-
Only all of the rough ridin' time, mocat.

Not near enough
-
often, at least a 1/3 of the time

never

'issclams i doubt theres a person on this blog that questions your YOLO mentality when it comes to bbsing. its pretty inspirational stuff

Yep, just Steve Dave, clams, and wacky. Three peas in a bbs'n pod
-
Damn straight! :gocho:
-
Sometimes I start typing a post and then I can't decide if I really want to post so I copy and paste it into an open Word document until I decide. And then I think, what if someone found that Word document on my computer completely out of context, and they would really think bad things about me.
-
Post the word document mrs gooch
-
i delete probably 25% of my typed out posts.
-
Post the word document mrs gooch
I just open a new one each time and delete it after I decide.
-
Yup.

Just did this with a chad may story

This greatly disappoints me.

Started it, then decided it's not worth typing out. Length;Interesting ratio just doesn't work
-
I would estimate that I have typed or starting typing "MIR is black?!" and then deleted it to be somewhere north (up?) of 50.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Some times I do this and forget I deleted them, then post later in the thread as if I didn't delete it. Makes subsequent actual posts vague, or out right random, sometimes.
-
Ignorant KC rant one deleted before even finished.
-
Never

I'm going to try to remember to post the rejects here whenever I back out of a post in another thread
-
what makes vietnamese instant coffee better than made in america instant coffee? (I bet it has to do with the EPA)
-
then if you guys think it's good enough, I can file a ticket for the mods to move it to the proper location.
-

this is a great idea
-
ive probably only deleted my original posts a couple of times, not sure if its a good thing or not but whatever
-
imagine if this thread existed when i was trying to calculate the size of texas
-

just for clarification, this isnt going back and deleting posts you have posted (though it can be)
this is more about typing something up and not posting it.
-

It's like a chocolate latte. Maybe you can find something similar from Starbucks, not sure.

The coffee press I have has a recipe for this. Ice and condensed milk in cup, with some sugar, then press coffe over that. I haven't had it but my bro loves it.

yes this is what I meant
-
I'm probably the opposite. I type a post quick, then post it. Then I notice an error and fix it. Then I notice another one and fix it. I just hope I get them fixed before someone quotes the post with errors. Or before it says "edited by _FAN" at the bottom.

heh, this is me too. i always try to convince myself to reread and edit a post before posting, but i hardly ever do. it's so stupid, i'm going to read it as soon as it's posted, why don't i just do it before i hit the post button?
and that damn edited by _ message comes up to quick. it's so final. they should give you more time.
-
i had a completed and ready to go thread that said
Let's talk about this TBT guy:
"he's pretty rough ridin' stupid huh: discuss"
-
I probably would have deleted a post saying to not take bbs'n so seriously
-
Yes. More often when I'm angry than when I'm not. I give less fucks when I'm happy.
-
Rape Baby
Yup, this is the one.
you're the lawyer, are you sure tim tebow's registered trademark has expired for this one?

That awkward moment when you realize that your husband saying "I'm aware." has been copying off of Jax this whole time.
-
man, what do i do when i back out of a post meant for this thread?
-

Go ahead and post it and just say that someone PM'd it to you.

Maybe not.

OK, maybe he hasn't actually been copying off of Jax but they sound exactly the same when they say it. You can read into it what they really mean.
"I'm aware, so why the eff did you even say that you stupid motherfucking idiot?"

I've never seen the vroom-vroom show, but I don't think it started in the 90s.

Almost pulled the trigger. Like Colonel Mustard, you see. Colonel Mustard->Molonel chicken nuggets->Moronel chicken nuggets.

Yeah, but I doubt straight-line winds are much of a concern in SF. Wut wut? Gay joke, son...

i had a very mean spirited post all typed out to one of my IRL buds and i just couldn't pull the trigger. it was really good too.

you should have posted. if you can't make mean spirited posts about you irl buds, then who can you make mean spirited posts about?
the meanest stuff i say here is to the people i like the most. i called cf3 serviceable cause i knew it would cut hard and i say mean stuff to clams all the time and i'd take a knife to a non lethal part of my body for him if given the opportunity. i love him.
