Writing the replies while blocked helps me cope a lot. It makes me feel like I'm still contributing while I lurk. It makes it bearable for me to lurk. I think I should continue with my replies. I'm also trying to learn to be more supportive with my replies.

I'm starting to think that all my future posts should be written and saved beforehand to avoid civility issues. It will be less impulsive if I have a day or two to think about my replies.

Yes...I think that is what I'll do from now on...save my replies and not post them immediately.
