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?

I have just written out and deleted an OP twice because I can't tell the story without using more details than I want if I don't want to be identified

Yeah, I do it all the time.

Yep.

and cant be bothered to get into an argument, and cannot resist threads im on so my willpower of posting and then leaving it,
just fades

Frequently. Especially when OP hasn't come back and other posters are actually just arguing among themselves.

@bluebalou Assume you use the app, if you use the website and type @ the entire list of posters comes up (starting with the OP) so you just need to scroll and select.

oh yes,

Yes because it doesn’t matter how logical and well-rounded and knowledgeable you are, sometimes you can never persuade irrational or batshit entrenched views.

You could be world expert and are still fighting against ‘facts’ on social media and Fred’s neighbour.

Ahhhh 😂 thank you so much that will help going forward thank you .

I call these TGL threads: “types, goads, and leaves”.

Always. Sometimes something gets my back up enough to comment, if I feel it’s something personal or I need to defend myself, but I tend to see it that it’s not worth wasting time caring or putting in the effort because you can’t change the minds of idiots. The people who do and seem to enjoy the drama clearly have no life so it’s never a good idea to engage, they have so much time on their hands it’ll never end otherwise.

Yes, often

All the time tbh. But sometimes I get weirdly drawn in. Like on a couple of current threads where I’ve not actually got skin in the game but have found myself posting against people who can’t grasp basic facts - not my opinion - just actual, basic, facts.
Wrestling pigs springs to mind.

Yes, and I feel good when I've not sent it

Sometimes, just sometimes, a long text needs to be sent though 😆

All the time! But have learnt )from experience) to ensure the potential recipient is removed from the address line before typing my response.....accidentally pressed send once before deleting name of the recipient. So they received it......

All the time.
