Poll question: Impulsive or thoughtful when posting?
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 02:55 PM by mix
When making an OP, do you do so with little reflection or do you mull it over?

1. Both
The ones I mull over in my head while driving usually sink like a stone.

When bored around the house and I just post a random thought.. active.

:D

6. have you ever felt the need to apologize for an impulsive post?
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 07:31 PM by mix
or have you been able to be impulsive while remaining civil and clear about what you're saying?

In other words, any regrets?

(one can be impulsive and savage too and feel completely at peace of course)

7. No, not really
If I'm being uncivil with somebody, there's generally a good reason, i.e. they're a raging homophobe.

9. A little of both
When I begin my own threads, I'm often being impulsive. When I respond to someone else's thread I usually think before posting (usually).

11. Both. If it is a hot topic, I may be a little more thoughtful, but let's face it,
most of my posts are silly shit!
