I do a lot of tongue biting but then sometimes it just comes out.
I must admit to fence sitting or being a sheep at times, just because sometimes it is what the OPer needs to hear - ya get me?? (Not on controversial topics necessarily)
I do get frustrated at the 'enabling' that goes on in forum-land... half the stuff that gets posted would NEVER be said in real life... but then again, that is balanced by the stuff that is important to be talked about IRL but isn't.
Geez, I'm talking a whole bunch of crap here. I hope some people understand me!

There have been a couple of topics where I have voiced my opinion and been shot down so I am very aware now what I write.
In saying that though, I am not someone who sits back and lets others attack me IRL.
I am very vocal about things that are close to me and I will say what Im thinking.
I would never intentionally write something on here to upset, offend or hurt someone, Im not a nasty person.
But if your asking an 'opinion' as far as I know, that means not everyone will have the same as you?
I have typed a couple of posts and then reworded them or deletd them, sometimes its just not worth it!
I dunno, I'm a fairly new poster on the forum so I may change over time!?

I'd just like people to get a bit more "real" and honest, and stop all the pc we all love you b.s and we all agree with you rubbish. It is normal and healthy to have differing opinions to other people nd we are all adults and should be entitled to express what we think.

LOL, the *real* Annie comes out, warts and all! 
I'm a fence sitter, but only coz as moderator I get paid to make sure debate is fair and doesn't get too personal, not to have an opinion. But rest assured I DO have an opinion on most things lol, and IRL I generally share it whether it's asked for or not.

Lol,Emma, I think I have been spending too much time on another board, which while a tad scary at times, is far more honest and real? Not that I don't love Oh Baby, its just gotten so darned... PC!!!

i think its sad when people dont voice their opinion cause they are scared of the backlash...or potentially offending someone when no offence is intended. It makes for a very one sided discussion and then the other side isnt put forward and then no fair exchange of info...
how boring a place if we all only ever got to hear or read what we wanted! How could we then learn and grow?

i think i tend to worry about if the comments I write will be interpretted as I meat them - more than worry about what i am talking about. if you get my drift. i also don't like things getting too personal. but half the time my lack of comment is cause i can't be bothered - laziness more than biting of anything

I think I write what I want to write when I want to write it.
Sometimes though I have written and deleted before posting, though not usually on ehre, i think I miss the contro suff on here!

sometimes i cant see why some people think a post or topic is controversial, it all looks and sounds fine to me, but then someone gets offended and i dont see why.
othertimes tho i have thought what someone has said was a bit tactless or nasty to another poster but nobody else seems to take it that way either...

I do and I don't. There have been a few posts that I couldn't write what I wanted to write but could say it and it wasn't coming across the right way; and have had my head bitten off.
However if I can see something just being an arguement I usually stay out online (different story IRL) unless something really offends me.

I write what i want and what i feel....and i litigate for a living so will debate an issue no worries.
It annoys me when people lie for sympathy, or get all PC kissy kissy....thats not me so I dont reply to those threads often!
BTW Deb welcome back...I like our debates / conversations / agree to disagree moments!!!

Most of the time I post what I think I do try to use inoffensive language to do it.
It would be sad if people felt they couldn't post their opinion without being shot down.
I like it when people have different ideas it makes you think about your own view on things which is usually the point.
I may not agree with what you say, but you have the right to say it.
and i don't know anyone one here well enough to get personal and i'm sure the same applies for a lot of members
I have seen some posts get out of hand, and thought 'whatever'. Some threads seem to have been started purely to wind people up.

I tend to sometimes bite my tongue and stay away from controversial topics. It's not just being PC for me, often I feel it's not worth the hassle (so to speak) and I'd hate to fuel a huge debate. I also find its hard sometimes to put things down like I really mean them as they seem so much more impersonal when written - no matter how many smilies one adds
