Have You Ever Posted Something Online And Later Regretted It?

[windywillow]

The question about Baldric & Tash inspired me to post this. I expect Baldric regrets posting about his personal life, although perhaps he doesn't give a monkey's.

Also the Canoe Man. His photo appearing online led to his demise. Although, to be fair, he didn't actually post the pic online - it was the estate agent that did it.

I think Baldric got fed up with all the sniping at him, hence he hasn't posted anything for over a year.

[Arksided]

Never, I'm a good boy me ;-)

Seriously, I have the next day if I'd being drinking one or two or...
I do backtrack to check that if a post was too cheeky to make sure it was taken in the jest it was meant.

[windywillow]

I think they both also took some stick from folk who believe them to be the same person.

I have always really liked Baldric but when you post daily about having a much loved sick wife but then bring a mutual friend into the home and openly admit you are now lovers and all 3 are happy about the situation. Then the lover brings her two gay girlfriends to live in the house as well and we get regular tales of their outings it's bound to attract interest and some disapproval from ABers. That's not sniping and Baldric was clever enough to know that would be the outcome. I guess he found it amusing.

[windywillow]

I guess we'll never know for sure.

Penthouse and Forum magazines have a lot to answer for, inspiration-wise.

OMG Danny I don't think you realise how pompous you can be. I do not need dictionary definitions posted. So in your view all expressed criticism or disapproval is sniping?

Readers 'wives' in this case would have been interesting Douglas :-)

[Peter Pedant]

no he has an option to delete and didnt

have I ever posted on line something I regretted?
no but my god I have read a bit on line that people must have regretted, hur hur hur

wd I put this on a post card? is my usual rule of thumb
(oh and yes I write insulting post cards in Latin to Boris
my latest was ludisti nunc abi - - you have played now go ! short attnetion span see)

[windywillow]

Peter, who had an option to delete? Are you saying you can delete your posts on AB?

[Peter Pedant]

// Then the lover brings her two gay girlfriends to live in the house as well and we get regular tales of their outings//

oh missed that bit - too busy rehashing old Great War campaigns - but you may see that one lesbian romp is the same as the next. No I am not speaking from experience. AND you may say that one awful depressing defeat of 1916 is much like another in 1917.

or that winston churchill's colonial policy 1919-1921 was completely wrong headed

[Peter Pedant]

yeah you clickety cliick on report and ask a passing mod
to delete for a given reason

and the mods they stab and stab and stab until the post has stopped moving and is quite dead.... lying there....headless and gutless

[douglas9401]

I can't recall Churchill's campaign in Lesbia.

[Peter Pedant]

// if a post was too cheeky to make sure it was taken in the jest //
but no one ever did

do you know that someone asked me what the great war was
(" Great war what dat den") are the very words I stared at in disbelief.

Mamalynne said I shouldnt collect and dwell on the more obvious betises of other Abers,, it was unseemly

[Peter Pedant]

oh you dont remember - -newscast

1972 Lesbian forces have just landed - I am sorry that was Lebanese forces....

[mallyh]

Peter i love reading your replies i just don't understand them x

[anneasquith]

Baldric had so many balls spinning he eventually got dizzy .

[windywillow]

I don't think he realised the reaction he would get from it at the time he posted it. If memory serves correctly, he posted it as a humorous response to another ABer's question.

And asking the Ed or mod to remove it, doesn't actually remove it from folk's minds.

Douglas, I believe some of the ships in the Gallipoli campaign set out from Lesbos.
