How Many Times

I avoid posting unless I feel VERY strongly.
Usually someone has my opinion by the time the day is over anyway and this way I avoid being the controversy.

Probably not enough

You and me both.

But I usually mean what I say.

I have as of late, taken more time to think about pressing submit and have opted out more than in.

The ones I delete usually get rewritten about 4 times before I realize that there is really no nice way to say what I want, when I am in that form of discussion.

Mostly my problem is that I have a hard time writting a short response, well I guess you get that point.

I've been a lot more active on here lately, considering I've been around this site since well got to be close to it's launch many years ago.

I've never pulled back any posts I've made but at the same time I spend a considerable amount of time putting my thoughts together then read and re-read what I have to say, many times making slight changes along the way to better emphasize what I feel is my most relevant statements. If entering into the fray of a hotly debated topic I tend to scrutinize what I say even more not that I want to water down my position or opinion, but to keep it sounding intelligent and coherent and not combative. Probably the reason why I tend to write long ones too - figure sharing a point of view requires more than just a one liner opinion, but the thought process that leads one to come to a particular conclusion. See I did it again
