Did you ever not post something on mylot because you did not know how mylotters would react to it?

I've definitely deleted discussions in the midst of writing them . . . just figured nah, I didn't want to open a can of worms - as we all know that sometimes happens. If you're good with whatever you decided, then I hope it all works out for you .

I mostly neither talk about religion nor about politics here.

I dont care how people will react to my post. I know I cannot please everyone.

If it's of a personal nature I tend to keep those to myself mostly. It's my opinion that my private dos and don'ts are no bodies bidness, I don't even share those with my real world friends.

Well that is rather mysterious..I cannot imagine what would be so bothersome to others. But yes, some may be offering advice not needed. I do not say a lot on myLot though I understand.

I agree with you there are also here with harsh judgment and opinions that's why I never hesitate to delete my post right away who cares? I own the post.

May be I haven't posted something here by thinking that people may not have interest about that topic. I never thought that how they will react. In fact it is good to hear different opinions about the same topic from all over.

I have written posts offline (now saved on my computer) that I decided never to publish. Most myLotters are nice people, but you never know.

I know what you're saying. Sometimes people are quick to judge and sometimes a full explanation/background just takes too long.

I have even had occasions when a few misinterpreted what I had conveyed. However, most responses were appreciative. It takes all sorts to make a world and also a site!

If you don’t feel comfortable discussing it then you shouldn’t post it.

Oh sure, many times. I try to post something of interest that is relatable. If I don't think a post is going to receive much of a response, even though it might be informative, I'll decide against posting it. I avoid political posts for it seems to rile people up and opens your view up to moral judgements like you said. There are so many other topics one can share why post political stuff that just causes members to argue with each other. What does that accomplish? It's certainly not fun or entertaining.

For the most part no I just put it out there. Yes, I have tried to maybe tone back what I say just to not offend everyone but then again so what if I do. It is a public forum so sometimes the language that I would like to use needs to be cleaned up a bit.

There will always be those who disagree with what you post in your discussion, comment on, or who have a prejudiced opinion about it.You either have a thick skin or not to post this type of thing in the first place.

There are things I do not post because of anticipated responses. There have also been times when I have popped out with an opinion on something and learned that I was wrong, or should have kept quiet.

I post what I want, and don't often care what people think.

I was raised in being extremely careful to talk politics and religion.

Mysterious! Did you rob a bank? Run over someone's toe with your bike?

You have not mentioned your thoughts clearly so there's no question of being cool or rude.

In answer to the header question, yes. We probably all have. I also tend to stay away from posting anything antagonistic or argumentive, if I am not able to monitor it very well due to time restraints. Plus, I do enjoy rocking boats at times, but I just don't want the waves to be too large.
