I genuinely did misclick though. Naturally I wrote all the text out, but I was still in the editing process because I wasn't yet satisfied with the post; I was concerned that there might be perspectives (on either side of the proverbial aisle) that might interpret it negatively, and I didn't want to post it until I felt like I had sufficiently mitigated that possibility. But while I was in the process of that editing, I finger-fumbled the Enter key while my cursor was in the Title field, and apparently if you do that it just posts the whole thing. I immediately panicked because I genuinely didn't want to make a post that stirred up anything negative, so after finding out I couldn't delete it myself I just wiped out the text and asked for a deletion. But apparently before my edit, it was seen, and then after the edit a reply containing a quote of the original post was made.

It's certainly possible that I was overthinking it; that's anxiety for you.
