I think what I think.
My opinion isn't put out there to make others feel more comfortable, or to agree with me.
In stating what I think, I'm not generally trying to offend anyone... although that is often the result, because many people dislike opinions which differ from their own.
That being said; I don't think it's being 'dishonest' to consider how one's comments will affect others, or to decide that discretion is indeed 'the better part of valor.'
Have you ever deleted your own comment, after reading the comments of others?

Yes. It just happened to me for the first time. Reading the comments of other people, I came across one by someone with whom I have become friends. We are ideologically at opposite ends of the spectrum, politically, but I respect this person and realized my comment about Obama would be very insulting. So I opted to gutlessly erase my comment, which is sort of dishonest and I really hope I get some good feedback.

on a poll,tee quake.i purposely avoid
learning certain opinions
of my sodahead acquaintences;i don't
want to allow them (negative opinions)
to get in the way of learning from anyone.
A 3rd rate social network is not definitive of one's real life and character.
I love being right, but when I am wrong I do try to right it.
Because I changed my mind about what I said.
A real-time conversation where you say what occurs to you is usually more interesting, so, my filter isn't always engaged.
