Has someone ever quoted you before you got a chance to edit your post?

I remember this happened! I said somethign and then edited it to change what I had said and by then someone had already quoted me so my words were "set in stone" so to say! Some people are just too quick ;)

Ha! You can't change it now!!! :rotfl:

One time I couldn't post a new thread--kept getting a message that I'd already posted it, but I hadn't. So I went in and made a different title, posted it and then went in to do the edit to what I had originally wanted to post. In the mean time, someone was trying to reply. When she hit reply a totally different thread was there. :teeth: Confused the heck out of her. :teeth:

Now this can be a fun game.

I said something that some people misunderstood, and someone quoted before I could change, I was very annoyed.
 
No. When I edit posts (with the exception of grammar/spelling/typo edits), I do the ETA to clarify what I said, or apologize, or somehow fix it.

I've been on other forums where they'll really nail you to the wall for changing a post, and make you out to be a liar. So, for me it's always better just to leave it as is and try to fix it with the ETA.
 
Yes ~ this just happened to me a couple of days ago for the first time. I said something negative about Florida and I admit I was exaggerating a bit, but it was my perception of the situation. Anyhow, I was quoted and corrected within moments. So, I added a ETA to explain that it was simply how I felt, not fact. Made me kind of feel bad.
 
Maybe I was just being a space cadet that particular night, but I could have sworn that I was nailed on something that never made it to the final post. :earseek: If I didn't know better, I would have thought the person was reading over my shoulders as I typed. :earseek: It freaked me out.
