Poll: "Nearly One in Five Internet Users Regret Online Behavior"

Sign in to disble this ad
Take that stat and turn it upside-down for a more realistic picture:

Nearly One in Five Internet Users Regret Online Behavior | Home of the Marist Poll: Pebbles and Pundits

Come to think of it, I'll take an informal poll here

It's a given that carrots win every poll here, so I'm looking for second place.

I've been on this forum since I was 14. You can bet I've said some dumb stuff in that span of time. When an ancient thread gets bumped and I see a post from when I was 16 or 17, I often find myself cringing at what I posted.

Back in Junior High, I wasn't a very nice kid. There'd be kids on Nexopia who I'd always end up making fun of. Looking back, I wish I could have taken back some of those comments. Either that, or have said it face to face, got smacked to the ground and learned my lesson the hard way.

At one time or another, I've come to regret most things I've done in life. Why should the internet be an exception?

Nope, nothing at all that I didn't edit before it posted, or right afterwards. The review panel is a very useful thing.





Also, John Turner is a besserwiser.

Not 5 minutes goes by that I don't regret something I posted in the previous 5 minutes.

Hard to believe that, as of now, 45% of the respondents say "No".
