Personally, I don't hold back at all. This is pretty much the one place I can be an idiot, and get away with it. Its a nice place to test my opinions for the real world where an opinion might not go over so well.

What about you?
This is one place I try not to hold back. And generally speaking, I doubt anyone could accuse me of much restraint in what I've said when the mood takes me.

But that said, I have done so on occasion, when I might have posted in anger. And I very rarely, if ever, post in philosophy or politics, because I know that some of my views regarding religious philosophy, and regarding politics in the Middle East don't harmonize well with the views of certain other members here whom I like and don't wish to antagonize for no reason. So I abide by the "when in doubt, just keep it to yourself" rule.
