Does anyone write out a well thought through, detailed reply and think fuck it.. delete.

[HidingHereForTomorrow]

This has happened a few times to me lately, on topics I’m quite knowledgeable about, then I get to the end and can’t be arsed with the drama. Does anyone else do this?

Lots of times.

Very true. It is draining which is stupid when we don't even know each other🤔

I've done it a couple of times today

one was on an Elderly Parent thread and I realised that actually there was a chance it would be too depressing?

I have found that board and the Mental Health board really helpful but I will not post if I look it over and think it might be "too much" for someone to find helpful.

Yep, I do too

Yes loads of times esp as we can't delete our own posts and I've written stuff before that has been ignored by the op and I just think 'how pointless to share my personal story'

Yep..I do it with work emails.

Yup, sometimes I’m too slow and my comments have already been covered, sometimes the OP has shown they don’t really want anything other than affirmation, and sometimes because I just can’t be arsed.

I quite often don’t bother opening the thread as the answer must be bleeding obvious to the OP, particularly some of the AIBUs.

Yes.

I was going to say this exact thing!!

All the time - no idea why. I thought it was just me!

Very much this.

Yep. You can't post anything on here anymore without someone jumping on you and tearing apart everything you've said, even if you're right, or just being downright nasty to you because they don't agree. Can't be arsed with these dickhead anymore. It's a shame because all these people are doing is shutting down informing debates with their shitty behaviour.

I've started doing this!

Yes often. Usually because I think I can't be arsed with any drama that it might cause. I'm less likely to on the Education boards because posters are (generally) less likely to be PITAs.

No! Never! I always put a great deal of effort into my replies and feel I can not let that effort go to waste by thinking fuc...

Yes but not this o…..

Yes, I'm increasingly thinking 'Oh sod it, I can't be bothered' when I'm halfw

Constantly, especially on MN

I do this to DC’s crap school on almost a weekly basis! Have had to learn to pick my battles…

Often.

I was going to ask y’all about this earlier … and deleted it instead haha.

I do it all the time!!!

Yes except I never write a reply, I can't be arsed. I can't understand why some just go on and on, someone starts a thread and two posters derail it by arguing back and forth. Who has time for it, it's strangers on the interweb.

Yes, often.

Yes 😂
