I've noticed a lot of commenters straight away take things personally and think that mentioning something is endorsing it. That kills discussion and turns it into a defensive symantic battle against commenters' assumptions.

I don't do that at all. How dare you?!

Lmao notifications have no context for me (I just see the reply) but I knew right away exactly what comment this was about

A corrollary to what you're saying is that people assume that because you've replied to them, you must be disagreeing with them. Often I'll agree with a poster but comment to add to their point, only to get chewed out for disagreeing with them when I didn't.

This is my experience. I'll add some additional detail that supports someone's comment and almost immediately get a "WELL ACKCHULY" reply from them.

Yep. That and the insane polarization. It’s virtually impossible to have a discussion with anyone here.
