I've written things I later regret. Part of it is reactive and/or impulsive. Something that helps me sometimes is to use the 'preview' option (sometimes more than once) to read over what I've written. Sometimes I'll write something but then realize I'm unsure if the OP meant what I think they meant/read what I thought, so I'll get rid of my response and go back and read again what the OP said, more carefully this time. Because of this it can take me some time just to get one post out, but when I do manage to do it, it has helped.
It's good of you to recognize it, many of us probably do this, one way or another, at some point or other.
