Am I the only grumpy one?

I keep writing responses to posts and then deleting them as know that they are grumpy (probably true but not very nice!).

Do other people do this? Or get fricken frustrated with things on here!

Yep... I often write whole replies then delete, or better yet, shut the laptop and walk away because I have realised my replies are probably not what some people want to hear and I can't be faffed getting into a scrap over it.

So no you're not the only one

I sometimes delete what I was originally going to post as I know I haven't articulated it well enough so there is a high chance someone will take offense.

Or sometimes I will just post it, then come back and delete or change it quickly before anyone replies cause I lose my nerve
Not very often though.

i tend to type it out in my head and think "oh god no il get the chop for that 1!" the responses i type in my head are easy to understand no misinterpreting! .... like "get a grip"..."get over it!"..."stop being a sook!" ...."stop being a drama queen"lol....so yeah .....

i dont see why we all walk on eggshells about not offending someone... cause even if you dont try to offend you just might anyway. (which is what always happens to me, when i am being nice i get flamed, when i'm not no one seems to care !) there is always going to be someone who wont like what you have to say no matter how nicely or gently you say it. Boards are open to misinterpretation - its just the way it is...

AND what does it really matter if ms joanne bloggs doesnt like what you have to say. at the end of the day what she thinks doesnt matter...

This of course doenst mean we need to be rude and swear at each other and make mean jokes - its not trade me after all!

geeez Amber, you can just say it to my face !!! :-P

I occasionally read a post or comment and laugh , but they don't tend to make me angry , if its something I don't believe or agree with , I mostly laugh at everyone and feel reminded of how great I am :-D

Yup prob why I havn't posted anything for over a week, can't be bothered and nobody listens anyway.

I tend to write something then realise it doesn't quite sound right and probably comes off a bit offensive or grumpy so I usually try to reword it but yeah... I mainly try not to post harshly because I haven't been on here for long.

Plus there are those that do speak their mind and then get attacked for it... Even if it might be true...

Yep I often write a whole post then delete it without posting. It makes me feel better just to type it out though.

I think every one wants to say it like it is sometimes for sure , I quite often think, .. um 'things' but I try not to be mean so in those cases I just say nothing.
