Title: How Many Missed Posts on This Forum?
Post by: Boudicca on August 28, 2010, 11:03:02 PM
Anyone besides me ever type a reply to a post, only to delete it for some reason.  Perhaps an innocuous one, perhaps because the collective mind of CCers would explode?
I ask this because I self censor two posts for every one I make.  Scary, huh? :-)

Definitely.  I probably toss half my posts because they're either inanely stupid or way off-topic.  And I still managed to get 17,000+ posts here.

It helps to have your own (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,40370.html) threads (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,21194.html) to post in. :wink:

Guys and cars are like women and shoes. :hyper:  I got new shoes in Vegas and DH dragged us to the Imperial casino to see a car collection.  He has a '67 Camaro he restored.
I know shit about cars, but those in the link would have DH drooling. :cheersmate:

All the time. If I posted every one I type, I'd probably have 10,000 by this point. But I tend to be pretty critical of what I write, so unless it's exactly what I want to say, I don't post it.

Unless I'm drunk of course.

I do my best posting whilst under the influence.  Pretty much every evening.  Umm, I'm a BAAAD girl. :rotf:

I figure about a third of the time, I'll get all worked up and bothered to post on a topic, hit reply and get maybe 2 sentences into what I think I want to say, stop for a second, re-read it and come to the conclusion that whatever I was trying to say was making absolutely no sense whatsoever, and quietly hit the [Back] button on my browser.

All the time which is why I only have 688 posts even though I joined in March 2008.  Even after the self-censoring, I would probably remove an additional third of the posts I actually end up posting. What's clever when you're writing it can become very stupid when it's read in context with the rest of the topic . . . :hammer:.  I'm grateful there are forgiving members here  :-)!

Of the multitude of posts that I have, I can say that I've started less than 50 others that I decided not to post.  I pretty much let fly what's on my mind.

I just drink beer, post, and whatever happens, happens...is that so wrong?

So now you know...

 :rotf:Youall crack me up.  I have two types of posts-ones like this when it's morning and I'm stone cold sober and the evening posts after imbibing alcoholic refreshment. :-)

Since Zer0 got affirmatively actioned into the presidency I've been drinking lots more. :p
