Why I delete my own entries or comments..
This may or may not be stating the obvious, but it occurs to me that what is obvious to me may not be for anyone else.
I delete entries because often upon re-reading, I suddenly realize that what I wrote can be interpreted in a way that I never in a million years intended. Often in a way that makes me feel like a complete troll after I've re-read it.( This happened to me a lot on discussion boards, where I couldn't delete, and often spent several hours stressing over the responses I'd get. The nice thing about BC&S board was it was busy and never archived, so I knew the post would be gone within a few hours. ATPO? It was there forever...unless the board master and mama took pity on me or felt it was spoilery or nasty enough to warrant deletion (ie - caused an ensuing flame war that crashed the board - which actually seldom if ever happened.))
Does anyone else do or feel like this, I wonder?
