Ever seen a post and started to reply but thought better of it?
Because you didn't agree with what someone was saying and were going to argue the point but didn't because you didn't think it was worth getting into a hassle over?

I've seen 2 posts tonight that I thought about saying something (and actually started to type) but then changed my mind because I don't want to start a flame war or have people getting PO'ed at me.

I'm such a wimp.

1. I do that all the time.
Some things are just not worth the effort. Sometimes, I just don't want to piss people off.

7. All the time!
That's why I just post in the lounge.
I spend most of my time reading the latest news, but never post cuz I hate getting into arguments on the net. I have a hard time moving on and beat myself up over it. My little head trip, I guess.
I like to have face to face debates,and I'm not the best writer, that's all.

You're NOT a wimp!

11. Oh yeah
I figure I'd have more than 10,000 posts by now otherwise.
John
At the rate I'm going, I'll probably just read and never post by January or so.
