Foo - Have you ever made a post on BF's that you regretted later?

Come on! Fess up. I know I did. Of course there is the delete feature. But if you don't come to your senses soon enough someone will select "Reply w/quote" then you are locked in. :D

Yes and No...there have been times I might have been too harsh, in my non mod days I could definately e-slam someone into next week. I rarely post without some thought, so I rarely regret my posts.

No. This will be my first one.

(But I haven't gone back to see what I may have provoked since yesterday.)

I regret that I have but one post to give to this thread. :)

I've made a few posts and/or threads that I was a bit brash with. But those have been rare and often lost to the depths of BF's before anyone really noticed.

Too late! :D

Wait, georgiaboy whats the deal with the girl in the wind? Was that Siu Blue Wind's avatar at one time?

Someone said something


How do you know that it's really a quote of a deleted post? Honestly?

Probably a couple here I've regretted, but far more on my blog, or in email. The stuff I put here doesn't really matter. There's one thread that I regret, because you can't delete your own thread. Having merton make fun of me for a post is saying something... I had a really bad day at work. I'll just leave it at that.

Merton makes fun of everyone. Especially me.

I actually deserved it on this one. And he was like 'Man, I thought I made dumb posts' or something like that...

you made fun of me first... fooooooool!!!!!

No no no, you got it all wrong. And it wasn't in foo. :D

As soon as I saw slvoid's post, I knew....

For the record, I don't regret any of my posts because I can't remember them anyway.:p

Aw, Slvoid. No regrets. That was the SWEETEST thread you posted. ((hugs))

Okay as evidant by the fact that I'm posting again in this thread, I instantly regret my previous post.

The "Girl in the Wind" gif is me waxing poetic. If Siu had a similar avatar it is merely coincidental.

After having thought things over, it would have been more interesting to start a forum with:

"Make a post on BF'S that you will regret later."

Eww... I forgot about that one. That or the chrome bag thread.

I posted a thread in FOO today (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=175127) that has gotten all of 10 views and no replies. I guess no one wants to give me feedback on my newly modified cycling log webpage. Now I regret posting it because I feel unloved by my BF family. :cry: I'm going to have a shot of rum or four and then go back to working on my studies for class tomorrow.

I was gonna reply cuda, but I was awestruck by the quality of your work. You rendered me speechless, and that is something that doesn't happen all that often. If everyone kept a cycling log like yours, the world would be a better place. Peace in our time would be at hand. It would never rain on weekends. Nobody would ever go to bed hungry. And every little kid would have a puppy and/or pony.

There, you feel better, don't you? :D

Wow, I feel all warm and happy inside, and I haven't even gotten around to pouring that shot of rum yet. :D


GAH! - Phil (below), I have decided to reply to this post here because I currently have 1999 posts and I am NOT going to use my 2000th post to reply! :p

... runs for the rum bottle! :eek: lol

Get a room already :lol:

I've made plenty of stupid posts.

Luckily, that was under my old username!

There are loads that I would not delete for...well, a lot. Some of those replies......

'Tis better to have flamed and lost, than to have never flamed at all.

That reminds me of a T-shirt I saw at the mall. "It's better to have loved and lost then to live with the psycho the rest of your life"

I had to laugh

I guess its a good thing my wife didn't see that shirt before we got married. May have started the old wheels a'turning... :D

Lets just say that in the 'Just a sig test! do not reply!' thread perhaps some of us made more posts than we should have :D

that always the ****s isnt it. Though maybe you should have put your cycling log post in one of the cycling forums.

YES....one of my first posts at BF. It was sooooooo taken the wrong way. I was quickly thought to be a troll and accused of trying to start riots.

KT - I've seen worse first posts from people who ended up not being trolls, but that does rank up there! :lol:

Well dude, you used the wrong words. Instead of saying "gay", you should've said, "sissy freak ballerina shoes".

A HUGE +1

Being a mod, you are held to a higher standard. You guys do a great job. I visit some other forums that do not give as much attention to moderation as here. Often I find posters attack one another. People begin to take things personally. The end result is the dialoque regarding the particular forum theme suffers because no one wants to be sociable.

I guess secretly we would all like to be mods on bike forums. We would find stepping in on some running dialoque that has gone in a bad way is more difficult than we think.

Here is where a mod got on to me 2 months after I first started posting. I deserved it.

http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=1326806&postcount=24

Any time someone on a forum says something proven stupid, people world wide will know. It happens, and often, so my theory is, if you can't handle that, don't post.

The only posts I've regretted are the 100 or 1500 or so that I've made already. I vow never to regret another post until the next one.

Probably the bravest post I've ever seen.

There are some members in here, Mandy, who really should have 1/2 the courage that you do, instead of cowardly hiding behind their screennames.

I regret every reply I ever made to Barcelona Rider.

(Now we've got to know...) Why???? :D

Wasn't that the running discussion about race or racism?

Yes it was the infamous racism in cycling thread. For someone who claimed to be a university teacher, I found his repsonses sophomoric. convoluted and completely off the map. I should have ignored it after his first reply and remembered to never argue with an idiot. The attempts at insulting me were funny, and a bit ptiiful. Better people than him have tried to insult me before, but at least they had the wherewithall to do it to my face....oh well....no sleep got lost.

Cheers,

Brian

Barcelona Rider claimed to be a university teacher?! I must have missed that post. He was a teenager who had trouble putting together much of an argument from what I could tell.

I don't think I've seriously regretted any posts. I've deleted a few and made some serious edits to others to avoid potential regret, but so far, nothing's come back to bite me. I do sometimes feel like I'm wasting my time discussing things with someone who is intent on being stuck in one's views and arguing just for the sake of arousing annoyance. One exchange of posts with Barcelona Rider comes to mind, among others. I love when people exchange posts to help each other, and I enjoy lively debate and discussion, but certain people clearly are out with an agenda and are really annoying to talk to. Posts trying to discuss things with them are generally a waste of time. So is posting in, say, the word association thread, but at least that's an enjoyable waste of time.

It is in his profile.
