Hi Little32,
I was wondering why you delete your posts?
Even if no one necessarily responds to it, that doesn't change your opinion, does it? I just found it kind of interesting... that you would rather delete your posts than to leave them out there. Are you asking questions that get no response? What makes you feel as though the posts are ignored?
I say that b/c what you said reminds me of this lady @ work, who will walk up while people are talking in the breakroom... but rarely says anything. Sometimes, she makes comments and when we start talking to her, she apologizes... Sometimes, what she is talking about is really late -- so we'll all kinda nod or whatever... But she's always apologizing for what she said.... Not that what you said is the same thing. It just made me think of it. It's like, what's wrong with what you said?? Why would you delete your posts?
On the other hand...
I have posted comments, and have deleted some of mine... But it's usually b/c I re-read what I posted and find that there was something I didn't like about my verbiage. Or perhaps the topic gets
off the chain, and I would rather disassociate myself/my comments (sorta like walking away from the brawl). I agree with the person(s) who've posted and said that there is some hypersensitivity... So I usually, well,
sometimes I re-read my posts, and if they sound antagonizing or sardonic, and I wasn't trying to be -- I have deleted them.
However, if I
am piquing, then I usually offer an apology to the individual... Via PC, IM, or post... depends on who/how I offended.
I have to be careful, b/c I dooooo have a very sarcastic wit... And while it may be funny in person, on the web it's different. Sometimes, things/people get BENT. But those are the only times I'll really delete my posts. If no one really responds to a post or topic I bring up in a general manner, then I suppose that it wasn't of interest.
