Posting Problem

petersonson · Aug 20, 2014

I've got drafts for about 6 new posts, and I can't seem to pull the trigger on them. Anyone else sit down to make a new Topic, write it out and then right before posting it, deleting everything and going on to something else?
It seems every time I write something, I think better of it and delete it. It took me speed writing this and not giving me time to think about it to post this one.

I do this all of the time. I should probably do it more, ha ha!!

I say if it's relevant to you it may very well be relevant to others. Don't be afraid to post. And don't be discouraged if your post only gets a few replies.

Yep, I do it.

Follow the advice of trailboss. After reading and following the past sage posts of Starcat I've become immune to pulling the trigger and posting utterly and useless tid-bits of nonsensical shit. Hey... everyone has to take a dump every so often as it's necessary for ones health and well being. : puffy

I've deleted many and changed many more before posting.Sometimes a statement can be taken in a way that you didn't mean it to be taken. My number rule is..Try not no offend folks.

I have never read an uninteresting thread, and even after only a few months already smile when a new thread is started with a title like:

Dunhill whats all the fuss about?

Whats the best pipe?

How do I store....?

Which way up should I store my pipe?
The threads are not as important as the replies which are always an education for a learner like myself. So please keep them coming.

I delete about half my post before hitting the "send" the button, particularly the ones that reveal an opinion. I realize nobody wants to hear about the cabin in Montana I'm going to build before writing my manifesto.

I'm a speed poster. Bad grammer, spelling and all. Think to much and it isn't your original opinion anymore. Grammer... get it?

Most of the time I will delete a post if I find that I am responding to the "tone" of another poster or the politics (People who try to use an inert post as some sort of proof of their doom and gloom politics). I usually don't realize that this is what I am responding to until I have written it out, and I delete it because I realize that it will drag me into the mud with the pigs. Better to just leave it alone at that point and either rewrite the post or move on.
