Do you type up replies only to close the tab before hitting submit?

I seem to do this pretty regularly. Type out some reply, then just hover over the submit button for a couple of seconds, and decide "meh fuck that" and close the tab. Just curious if this is common or not.

All the time. I gotta start doing that more on Facebook, though. I have people defriend me for just disagreeing with them. Facebook is not the internet, it is not for serious discussion.

I'm even worse about it on Facebook. I mean I don't really spend much time there anyways, but as a ratio, it is far more frequent.
Debates on Facebook are the fucking worst. Such a vast collection of idiots there. It's just not even really worth the headache trying to make a valid point. IME anyways.

I don't even understand why I do it. I mean, I obviously had some input I felt like sharing, or I wouldn't have typed anything up. Is it just me cooling off in the time it took me to write it up, or was writing it up in itself the "therapeutic benefit" I get from sharing my opinion. 
And yes, for me at least, it is almost always some conversational topic. I've probably responded to 1-5k more threads that I never officially made a post in at this point

Read "replies" as "reptiles" and got very confused. Once I figured out what you're talking about, yes, I do that all the time.

I didnt mean to click on this thread... But I dont do that too often. I usually formulate the reply in my head first then decide if I should post it.

Crazy, this vote is 22 yes, 0 no..
Thats the most one sided poll Ive ever seen..
I do that shit all the time... I wonder sometimes if Ive ever deleted a golden reply, but instead just erased it because at the time I wasn't 'feeling' it..

Sometimes I write a post and my inner dialogue asks me to rephrase or swallow it.
