Are you a "Reply after 6 minutes person" or a "Reply after 16 hours person"?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If the message is a long and important one, I sometimes postpone replying to when I have a bit of free time and in a calm environment to collect my thoughts and write a good reply.
Then I proceed to forget about the long and important message for 16 hours and write a half assed reply because "fuck I should've said something 15 hours ago, now they hate me fuck fuck fuck".
I have learned, that in those circumstances a simple "wow this is a long text, I don't have the time right now to give it the proper thought. Let me get back to you when things calm down"
Or simply, "sorry busy right now, let me get back to you later"
This way, you acknowledge the message but also give yourself breathing room.
