Ah, Trillian, you've hit one of the nails on the head, I think! In recent times it's been in here like people react badly when you say something they don't want to hear. Ticking timebomb!
Yeah, for me it's a combination of a change in the community as well as individual culpability for when things go a bit askew in BB. Individuals first started getting het up when they read something they weren't prepared for and then it seemed to become the way to treat all posts - with the assumption that someone is going to be triggered by SOMEthing in a post reply, so best to put in a disclaimer and still expect backlash. It's a bit tedious, so I just word things the best way I can if I'm feeling touchy feely enough to respond, or I just won't engage.
It takes far too much time and effort to respond to people genuinely only to have them get shirty with me, when I could have been playing a puzzle with my boy.
