I would probably have 10x the number of comments if I always posted them after fully typing them out. How about you? (lemm.ee)

4x or so in my case. Same thing, though.

Most of the time it boils down to "I can't be arsed". Stuff like:

I'd need to rephrase it to still say what I think, without being impolite. I know that I'm an arsehole, but I'd rather not ruin someone else's day if I don't see a reason why.
I'd be dealing with someone who's clearly irrational and/or disingenuous.
I realise that I'm taking into my own hands some matter that someone else is better prepared to. For example, explaining a subject that I'm not too certain about.
