Do you ever post and run? |
|
Kind of like a hit and run. If it is controversial, you should stay around and take the heat, right?

3. I tend not to be very controversial |

but I suppose I could be, if it were required.

7. I've Been Known to Do That |

Usually come back the next day, check the damage, and make a lame after-the-fact reply.

18. Those Election Fraud Threads are the Worst |
|
I sometimes feel compelled to get involved, but it can take hours for an in-depth discussion of the issues complete with charts or data. No fun -- at least not for me.
If I liked flamewars, though, I would hang around the Israel-Palestinian threads. Now there's an explosive issue.

13. That is totally understandable. |
|
There comes a point when you can't read the long ones. But I mean at first, when all the hard questions come at you and you leave.

26. To express my opinion. |

I don't feel a need to defend that opinion when I know that I will be encountering the true believers..

23. I'll frequently post something, leave the computer, then come back... |
|
a few hours later. Some people might call that a hit-and-run, I prefer to think of it as appreciating life away from a computer monitor.

24. Aahhh - the old "swoop 'n poop" |

Fly in, shit all over the place and take off....
No - I don't do that. I only give up when someone INSISTS on having the last word. :hi:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm overdue! I'm really in a stew! No time to say "Goodbye", hello! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

31. I almost never start threads.. |
|
... especially controversial ones. I suppose I find plenty to do just responding to others' :)
But I'd never do a hit and run. I believe what I type here, and I'll defend it. There are times tho when after 3-4 back and forths I'll decide that the conversation is going nowhere and give the other person the last word.
