What an interesting and well-timed post. I always enjoy your social meta-commentary.
Thanks!
One of my friends has engaged in quite a lot of self-debate about the degree to which his engaging with certain commenters drives away others, and how one can never reach a perfect solution to that. Thinking about that inspired my rambling.
Maybe trigger warnings are the way to go?
Perhaps, although there are clearly times when that's just not sufficient.
