How often do you compose a new answer and then give up on it?

I've done it four times today already. I read the answer I've typed and then think "god, that's a pointless comment on an already overcrowded thread" and hit the Back button without posting it.

I'm not the only one who does this, right?

Every so

often.

I do it quite often. Especially if I'm replying to someone that I really shouldn't be replying to.

Can i just say that I have just worked out what Nick's name is all about. I am a cretin.

It's actually quite satisfying to type out a rude and insulting answer to an idiot, and then just abandon it. The problems start when I slip and click "submit" instead of back to "New Answers"...

Pretty frequently, every day just about.

I've just done that about six times on this thread alone. I also can't believe I'm going to click submit on this post, but I really need some closure. So I can move on.

I do that a lot, usually when I'm about to make a comment that could result in unnecessary arguing that gets nasty, but let me tell you something, arseholes......you are all

Not often enough. When it comes down to it I usually think something like "no no, don't second guess yourself. They really like your stories about shitting your pants and having girls slice your cock open with their teeth" which I s'pose is a little glitch in my brain that I'm hoping the surgery will fix.

The last one was "G-g-g-g-g-g-geeeeeeeeeeeeeee protection!" on the G-Protection thread, but then I realised that it wasn't funny.

Fairly often, because I decide my comments are blaise and contentless.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 30 January 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Almost every time.

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 30 January 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, most of the time. It's no fun being stuck for words.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 30 January 2004 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

All the time.

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 30 January 2004 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

my instincts are screaming for me not to post this, but...
way more than i actually post.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Friday, 30 January 2004 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I probably don't do it enough.

― jim wentworth (wench), Saturday, 31 January 2004 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

haha i don't even know whether it's worth it to respond to THIS thread

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 31 January 2004 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCK!

― NA (Nick A.), Saturday, 31 January 2004 06:00 (twenty-two years ago)

90% of the time.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Saturday, 31 January 2004 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

25% of the time, maybe?

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

.5% of the time.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

hat?

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

What?

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Shut up and leave me alone!

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

See, Aja, it IS annoying, isn't it?

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

But when he does it, it's for no reason except to make fun of me.

I only ask what once for what I don't understand.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 31 January 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I rarely do it, and I rarely proofread.
