This would explain my sudden desire to break out in songs from My Fair Lady :D
 
Do you post the first thing that comes to mind or do you give yourself some time to mull your posts over a bit? Have you ever posted something in haste, maybe even something negative or sarcastic, only to return and find yourself way off base and sounding like a doofus? Do you try to read things from a perspective other than your own whenever possible? Are you open to considering it? Do you read with a judgmental eye rather than a loving eye? Does it poison your words at times, no matter how well intended? Do you ever wish some of your posts would disappear into cybergumbyland forever? :)

I'm finding myself reading threads a time or two before posting these days. Don't mean to ignore anyone, but there's a lot of wisdom in that "slow to speak" thing. :) Helps me not to choke on my foot as often. Anyone else?
