I'm mad at myself whenever I get involved in the redundant, trash threads on the main board - It's like going to lunch with a bunch of simpletons whose main topic of conversation is the last episode of Reality TV they've watched. - R

FR to OP: Honestly, I don't think I've ever done or said anything in my life that I felt shame over. I have however said things I've regretted, or things that have embaressed me, or things that were too personal, or things that were inaccurate or wrong for other reasons. Sometimes, I go back and edit a post. Sometimes I delete a post. There are different reasons that I do this, (mostly because I decide that I dont want to go down a particular road with a person and decide that I shouldve just moved on) but this is never a case of feeling shame over something Ive said.

I rarely, if ever, have posted something I wish I hadn't. Sometimes I have gotten more snarky or silly than I probably should have or egged an idiot poster on just for shits and giggles. I am weird and sometimes find a perverse joy in watching them jump for the bait and dance on the hook. I sit back and think, "so predictable!" Definately not my best personality trait. Sometimes I am not exactly thrilled that I gave in to the temptation. Fortunately I seem to have good aim when I choose my targets. I have always been a fair judge of character even online and manage to keep the target practice to those that are in some way asking for it. If I feel I have come across differently than I meant to and hurt or angered someone I will imediately appologise, I see no weakness in admitting a mistake and saying I am sorry. To me, that is strength of character, something I constantly strive for. As for changing my opinions, happens all the time. That is one of the main reasons I read many of the forums and posters I do. As I have said in the past, there are some posters that initially grated on my last nerve even though they wrote intelligently and with seeming great thought. Those are the posters I chose to pay most attention to because I felt I could learn something from them and I have. I am glad I put my ego aside and pushed myself to "shut up and listen" because I have learned alot.

Myself I picked option two. I’ve never deliberately set out to hurt people but sometimes people post things here and I make a joke about it, as this is what this area of the forums is for and any post here is fair game to me. Sometimes though a third party will come along and try to make me feel small because I didn’t take the initial point seriously. I just can’t understand why this is done. I think people should realise that any serious point made in this section won’t be taken seriously by everyone. If people understood this I think many disputes just would not occur. I don’t mind debating things with people but you often find that we all either agree or we don’t. No one here has ever changed my mind about something in the debates I have had. So I come here for fun that’s all. I’ve never been ashamed of a single thing I’ve posted and can’t even be made to feel so, as only I know the true intent I have behind a post I have made. Kind Regards.

Go back in time and slap my past self for being a tardball right before i am able to click the "OK" (submit) button.....well, i wish i could do that. In reality, i will usually apologize as well as edit whatever embarassing nonsense i had written.

onlythewindknows -> RE: When you are ashamed of something you posted do you: (11/6/2006 4:43:39 AM)
i edit posts not for content but for form. i make secondary posts if i feel that the original didn't capture the intended tone, not to apologize but to clarify.

demistress -> RE: When you are ashamed of something you posted do you: (11/6/2006 6:08:51 AM)
I do apologize when I feel it is appropriate. I am stubborn, but I am less so than 5 years ago.
