How I feel when I type out a long and detailed reply to someone's comment only to find they've deleted the comment before I can hit send

Transcription: Top panel shows a Star Trek transporter buffer being deleted. Bottom panel shows Nurse Chapel teary eyed for the person that was deleted.

Or the flip side, you write out a long detailed reply and right before you submit it you decide you don’t care enough about it and delete your draft.

Second only to someone post facto editing their comment to make you look bad.

A lot of people also added "edit:typo" to their comments on reddit when they edited them to male it look like they had a legitimate reason to have the comment be edited

Your comment is altogether too specific for me to write a natural sounding post facto edit that makes you look silly and doesn’t involve ableist language. You win this round…

Yeah it's happened to me a few times

Also another few times I did have long lengthy arguments with idiots on reddit in the past and ended up deleting the draft because I lost the mental will to argue with the idiot while writing thr lengthy comment
