LadyPact -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 5:57:20 PM)
My thanks to A/all who responded. From what I'm understanding, there are a few out there who, like Me, don't edit the original thought for anything more than minor issues (slapping the typo fairy, etc.) If I'm reading correctly, it seems like most prefer to have their comments stand. Actually, another thanks need to go to the mention of the time window on editing. It was something I wasn't aware of, and may have made the question mute to begin with. I learn new things every day. I was glad to see that I'm not the only O/one who does, at times, have feelings influence views on a topic. Maybe, in some ways, feelings help to form even O/our more intellectual replies as well. I'm One of those that think experiences help Us to form our opinions, and usually, our experiences are associated with feelings from that time that contributed to how the opinion was formed. One part of the (further) question that I didn't add was, does allowing your feelings to come through in your statements give the reader a better chance to (cyber) know you?

BeachMystress -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 7:51:05 PM)
I never edit for emotion. I edit when I've made a spelling, punctuation or grammatical mistake. I will say that when I've been posting a while, sometimes I'll put a response in the wrong reply box and post to the wrong thread. At those times, I erase the post (because it is nonsense without the context of the proper thread) and leave a message to the effect that it was the wrong thread. I suspect that is more what the ooops was for than because they rethought what they had said.

MzMia -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 8:40:33 PM)
Cute thread LadyPact, usually I edit because of glaring errors, but every now and then I edit due to emotion, when I think I am being a tad too harsh. I am getting to the point now, with the people that clearly only want to argue- to not read more than one or two sentences and ignore as much as I can.[;)]

PsyVamp -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 8:48:21 PM)
Usually I edit to add or expand an idea that I was working with. Or sometimes, I reread it and need to edit for clarity. Psy

quote: ORIGINAL: MistressLorelei I am a habitual editor. I have never edited for emotion. Rather, I am a bit of a perfectionist and often think of a better word to use, or decide to add a little extra something to improve the way my post sounds or to clarify it a bit. Sometimes I'll catch a spelling/grammatical error or typo, so if I'm not too late, I edit. Edit is my friend.

Well, I'm a MOD on a coulpe of other boards (both automotive in nature), and when I go and edit someone else's post I always put a reason why (innapropriate content, SPAM, what-have-you) I have modified anothers content. When I go in and edit my own previous posts I may not always take the saame amount of care. If my spelling is especially horrendous I will go i and correct it, but I generally let my fumble-fingered-ness stand. I mean I spell just fine, but my fingers are dyslexic. I, too, had one a day or so ago where I edited/retracted a post (sole remaining comment was something like, "rong thread," or some such...), but that was because I posted the right comment into the wrong thread (my poem for the "collar" thread was inadvertantly posted into a different one) because I also apparently have a BIG problem paying attention to the details of WHERE to click, as well.

MistressNoName -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 9:03:08 PM)
The only times I've edited for anything I'd call emotion were times when I thought my posts could just use a little softening or smoothing over. But I'm not sure that isn't just good editing practice, anyway. I think it's actually a very good thing for ppl to take at least a second look at some of the things they write. Could head off a lot of misunderstandings that happen on the boards sometimes. MNN And then there are those darn spaelling errors... [8\|]

Is it required that we edit our posts in THIS thread?!?!? I dint get the memo... If it comes down to content, and misunderstanding, I'm Man enough to admit if/when I put my foot in my mouth. (No, REALLY, it happens...) Or, even modify my stance IF I find that someone provides me with a fresh perspective. But, posting a 2nd or 3rd or mor-th, thread doesn't cost any extra. I hope, it doesn't [8\|]

When it gets like that it is best to move on, I have see many people here that INSIST on getting the last word. Have you as a Dominant ran into any "submissive women" like that? Sure I know they are not YOUR submissive, but when a submissive acts like? Its best to run, no point in editing.[:)]

LadySeraphina -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 9:29:46 PM)
I edit for typos, punctuation, or spelling, but from time to time I may reword something if I think I've been harsh. Not to retract it, but to state my opinion more tactfully. To be honest, I hate to argue, so that's why you'll find most of my posts are in Random Stupidity.

Sure I know they are not YOUR submissive, but when a submissive acts like? Its best to run, no point in editing.[:)] And a HEARTY wave back atcha... On one (but, sadly, not BOTH) of the other boards I am a Mod on, we have a saying about internet arguing. Equating it to winning in certain "types" of Olympic events, but I won't clarify, here. If you aren't already familiar with the saying and want to know, send me a PM and I'll spell it out for you. Personally, unless someone says something that I feel is particularly unenlightened, ALL I do is state my position and roll. Subsuquient posts for clarification, if needed, or if a raport developes within the framework of the thread, to be sure. But that's it. If someone doesn't gettit, I doubt, seriously, if anything I may have to share will provide and additional lucidity they may be lacking. Oh, and, if someone truly feels they NEED to have the last word... They are welcome to it. Same reason as above. For some, getting the last word means they've won. In reality, it usually means you're simply more myopic, and less open to the views of others. It took me YEARS ans YEARS to learn this simple truth. Yes, I have run into submissives that NEEDED to get the last word in. My belief is that they needed this to in some small way feel as though their feelings were being considered. Didn't mean I did, didn't mean I didn't. Depending on teh nature of teh relationship, I could usually tell when they had something they needed to get off their chests (figuratively, of course), and was generally (but not always) willing to allow time to hear them out. That was for my submissives. As for those I run into on the boards, here on CM? Well, I treat that a little differently. You are right in pointing out that they are not my subs. Personally, I do not (not even within the context of this forum) go around attempting to be a Dom to every sub I come across. Unless you have gifted yourself to ME, to me you are just another human being. Race, creed, color, religious/socio-economic/cultural background mean only that where you grew up was different than where I grew up. Because of that type of outlook, on here (the forums) it matters not to me if you claim top or bottom. Just that you be true and honest to YOUR beliefs, and keep teh bullshit to a minimum. Dom/mes can be JUST as annoying as subbies, when it comes to getting the "last word" in. IMHO. So, tell me, what is YOUR reaction when a sub (yours, or others') wants to get the last word in (I'm assuming in-roll scene-play, for the confrontation)?

LadySeraphina -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/17/2007 11:58:25 PM)
I rarely let them get a word in edgewise, so the last word might be all they get to say! lol Normally, if one does that with an attitude attached, they soon have a sore backside. If they are simply trying to express themselves politely, we will deal with what they have to say... but again, with how much I talk (I'm a verbal thinker, and have ADHD, not to mention diarhhea of the mouth) they are rarely going to get the last word either. N4, if you don't post again, does that mean I had the last word on you? [;)]

GoddessDustyGold -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/18/2007 3:57:12 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: kc692 quote: ORIGINAL: GoddessDustyGold I edit often, however, it is only to correct spelling errors, typos (My fingers are very dyslexic at that keyboard), etc. Since there was a problem at one time regarding people making inappropriate statements and then becoming embarrassed about their own behavior, then trying to go back and take it out and also convince others to remove supporting statements, I think they have reworked the edit system so that one only has a limited amount of time to edit. If I was upset and it showed in a post, and I felt better several hours later, I don't think I have the option of editing at that point. It is too late. However, I try to police Myself regarding a response that might be less than calm and clear-headed. And when I don't, I usually recognize it, throw it out there anyway, and include the statement that I am cranky! Not on edit, but right in the original post! HOWEVER....I will never forget the day, so many moons (years?) ago, when I read a response from another poster that was quite to the point but polite and then I saw at the bottom "edited to be nicer". That gave Me quite a chuckle. Edited: Smile* Because My space bar is not cooperating today. Awww, shucks, I can't believe you remembered, lol!!!!Good to see you on the boards, we need the "voices of reason" such as yourself to balance some of us that have to edit to be nicer......[sm=flowers.gif] Now I am really laughing! Yes, I remember and I even named you when I first typed it, but then I self-edited, and change "KC" to "another poster" before I had to officially "on the record" edit it, since I thought I should not name you! Damn, I'm good. I can edit Myself, before I even have to use the "edit" option! You are too kind to Me, LadyK!

Vendaval -> RE: Edited for emotion (4/18/2007 11:06:43 PM)
I usually leave a footnote in parenthesis at the bottom of the post stating whether the edit was for spelling, format, syntax or to add content, etc.
