You know how it is...some idiot has just written something completely stupid and with a fury of fingers you mash out a decisive, if not condesending response. Then, just before you click "submit" you realize it's not worth it. They're an a$$, they're not going to change. And you're just being an a$$ in response... |
Very often. Mostly now I just quote sentiments I agree with and write "seconded" or "bingo". |

I'll often write something, erase it, rephrase it, edit it, rephrase it again...then realize I've just wasted 8 minutes of my life trying to eloquate a point that will never, no matter how poignant, get through to its intended target, then it's erased.
Interesting topic. This is like the whole tossing off into a sock thing. For years I thought I was the only one. At first I was elated to know that I wasn't a freak, but also a little disappointed that I wasn't the only one clever enough to have thought of it. |

Loss of cred is a small price to pay for expressing yourself.
I submit about 75% of what I write. |
