The Edit Button

I've been tossing and turning tonight.
Edit buttons are keeping me from sleeping. They drift through my dreams, seemingly mockingly, as I am prone to hit an extra button or two in my haste to call people retarded..... yet with my typos I look like the retarded one.
Yet, I came to an epiphany tonight.
Edit Button:
All users are able to edit their posts at any time..... until someone directly replies to that post.
Or, if that isn't enough, the post is editable until someone else posts in that thread.
So, this will prevent Trolls from changing posts to save face, yet, give people with fat fingers and little patience to proof read the ability to fix some stuff up if they catch it after posting.
Come my friends, gather around the fire and hold hands. Lets discuss this.

As well as calling back something you shouldn't have said.
or something that’s poorly stated and could be misinterpreted.

If edits were possible, and typos were a thing of the past...
you guys would then be able to discern my drinking while posting on this site. I prefer the amnonimninunty…
We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
If you need an edit button that bad,
only comment in the form of fanposts like all the new people do. You can edit a fanpost or fanshot all you want. You can even delete it entirely if you are angered by the comments you receive.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.

Where my husband works there is a guy who imagines himself as Peter Gibbons
but he’s really more of a Milton Waddams, before he loses his red stapler.

Dear Lord, that is he.
My husband is so very glad he doesn’t have to supervise the guy.

Tell him to bring in a couple of consultants who can “fix the glitch”

I'd rec this more than once if I could. But I can't, so I ain't.
But yeah, we need more retired high school English teachers around here, or college English majors. Especially those with specific pet peeve to club us all with! Those are the best!

Like me?
I started college as an English major but got my degree in Music.
I try to be tolerant but sometimes I just can’t help myself.

It is for folk such as yourself that I used the word ain't!

I don't mind "ain't".
I use it myself for humorous effect, not to mention that I have a lot of hillbillies on my mother’s side.
Bad spelling bothers me but apostrophe abuse makes me gnash my teeth.

Oop's!

Just think...if we had an edit button, maybe some of Ca1IFORNIA ANGELS posts
would be intelligent (not that I disagree with any of them)
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
You presume a cognizance of the errors on Ca1's part..

yur words are two big for me
when “u” or “me” presume, then one of us becomes a “pre.” Wait, that, uhm, Crap! It looked better before I wrote it.

preview button
I am not a fan of editing anything I do and because of this I receive bad marks on essays I turn in. But maybe revising a post by hitting the preview button would be a good idea. Then again I’m too lazy to do that.

I always preview...
hence, an edit button is not needed. Plus, it provides a second to think about what you wrote and how it might affect the community.
I love this team.

are you GA in disguise?
if so, will your posts improve over the second half?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
i doubt my posts will increase significantly in the second half
But hopefully by next season, they will be amazing and thought provoking.

That's why I use Firefox
It has a spell check built into the browser. So I almost never misspell anything.
