I lost count of the number of times I have written long and impassioned posts, only to hit the back key. Sometimes it helps writing my feelings but that does not mean that I need to post them.
I always ask myself, what is the intended response to my post and is that response adding any value. If the answer is no, then I delete it.

That's a good point. We all need to read the moderator's posts. However, we don't have to respond to them.
