For the most part I'm pretty passive online, I dont usually post a lot in discussion forums even though I read huge amounts of them. This also means I don't generally get involved in flamewars at all. Normally I see a comment or post I find interesting and consider writing a reply (like this one), I then start typing a short reply (like I'm doing now) which vaguely expresses my thoughts, I normally write, revise, edit, read, reread re-edit the post several times before hitting submit (like I am doing with this comment). Once I get to this point there is a 90% chance I will say 'screw it', delete the post without submitting and move on. (If you are reading this then you know it was one of the lucky survivors that made it.) In real life I'm pretty laid back so perhaps that explains my ghostly online persona.
