have you ever experienced this?
« on: October 26, 2006, 08:22:01 AM »
Scenario:

You type what you think is a decent, intelligent, reasoned reply.  Then you look it over and suddenly realized it is in fact deranged, disturbed, and perverted, which then makes you cancel the post?

Usually not entirely, but rarely some parts I realize are fundamentally fucked up.

No, I do try to decide what's TMI though, even though a lot of people don't seem to have TMI standards. :laugh:

Yes.  I don't think my post is deranged or perverted, necessarily, but I do think it may be very offensive to some people, so I don't post it.  I do this often.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Yes I do, sometimes when I think it might be a little too blunt or too bitchy; other times when what I've typed doesn't actually make sense or express what I was trying to express; and then rarely if I remember that someone's been a little depressed lately and probably doesn't need my bitching.

Yes, happens to me every now and then. It's called self-moderating. :)

The usual is when I mean to reply with a joke or a pun, and realize that it would be too offensive and quite possibly hurtful.

I forgot I do that too- I start typing a joke in response then realise its probably not a good idea.

I've also written my share of "fuck-you's" but managed to cool down before posting.

i voted no.

because a vast majority of the time i really do not care.
though lately, the past several weeks or so, i have been rethinking a post if i am particularily cruel to an individual.
but rarely.


hey, i don't edit either.

Come on people, this is Intensity. If it's deranged, disturbed, and perverted, that just makes it all the more interesting.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Hold on, did I fall asleep for a minute? When did I become your domme?

Or is this left over contrition from the last time I kicked your ass?

When I was younger and insecure. Today, if I start a thread or write a post like that, no one is the least bit surprised. It also helps that I avoid kiddy sites.

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law
