Why do people post with whole paragraphs crossed out?

I keep seeing this and it's very annoying to read. Does anyone know what the purpose is? There must be some reason. I've seen people use it for one sentence when they put their real thoughts but paragraph after paragraph? There's obviously a reason but I don't know what it is.

Hello OP.

We're guessing people have various reasons for using strikethrough - and in many cases they do it accidentally as referenced up thread. In many cases we reckon it's used to demonstrate the 'inside voice' of a poster, though obviously we can't speak for everyone.

Hope that helps and of course you can always just ask a poster why they've done it. Wink
