many times. at least a couple times per day lol. i don't censor myself in fear of saying something stupid or getting banned (lol) but rather just because i realize what i typed out was a worthless post, even if it was semi-lengthy.

even just a couple years ago i'd just post whatever i'd want to say. nowadays i don't post unless i feel like i'm actually adding something to the thread. blogs are usually an exception to this rule, though.

I always hit preview before post and I often cancel posts after I re-read it in the preview and wonder to myself what I was thinking just 5 seconds before. Cept LR threads of course, it's too amusing to say stuff and see how other people watching the exact same thing you are think completely different things.

I didn't post in this thread earlier, but I decided to come back and tell everyone that I didn't post.

Probably every other post with me.

I try as hard as I can to keep discussions civil. I'm very afraid, due to past experience, that something I type will be taken the complete wrong way as tone can't be read. Teamliquid is the last place on the internet I'd want to make worse by my acts of thoughtless posting.

That being said, this post kind of sucks too, but I'll hit "post" anyway because of the thread it's going to be in.

I'd say it's reasonably often that I type up a reply and think "ehh... this was stupid" and just move on to another thread without posting. Maybe a few times a week?

I remember when I first started here, I was pretty hesitant to post. Probably had something to do with intimidation or the fear of not meeting standards and shit. However, as the posts accumulated, I found that intimidation factor just disappeared. I was free to do whatever. Anything I wanted to post, I would. Anything I felt, I'd type out and hit enter on.

I've found myself holding back quite a bit as of late though. Before, I used to just type whatever I wanted without really thinking about whether or not it was appropriate to post or whether or not it contributed. I've found myself cutting down on a lot of aggressive posts and I don't find myself spamming as much as I did in the past. Instead of being at Flamewheel 300 post/week levels, I think I've found myself a home at around 100-200.

I wonder how many posts I'd have if I were the raging type and actually bothered debating things / flaming people. Instead I just randomly go about and spew nonsense.

Hopefully I'll never have to find out.

I've fallen into a huge melancholy about posting. I pretty often write up posts...

Shit I almost didn't even post this. Well in short I almost never post after writing something up as of the last year.

I would say I write or half-write and then erase about half of my replies in threads. TL is very strict on standards of posts, and I really respect what they are trying to do with it, so I'm pretty hard on myself. I guess there is a bit of a chilling effect which is sad; but overall I think it's a good thing, given the type of place TL is trying to be/has been historically.

This is tangential, but in particular I really really respect the clear line TL takes on stuff like sexism, racism and homophobia in comments and threads.

I have nothing but respect frankly for the way this place is run. Good work you ppl.

Never. My posting is like that broken pipe in every FPS games that constantly spews steam out for no discernible reason, failure to duck under my posts is to know immense physical pain

A lot. Normally because I start reading a thread, start posting a reply...then I read a bit further and realize someone else has already said it better.

Hm...I think I'd be hovering around 3k posts if I posted everything. Then there are those times right before a match where I wonder if I should LR or not.

Let's say it like this for me.... if I were to post like a sane being and to my usual self, I would have as many posts (or more) as konadora right now. We started our accounts fairly around same time so see the difference between our post.

But I only post if I see something fairly interesting (like this thread) or if my emotions get the best of me (my previous rage blogs).
