Reddit made me extremely defensive about commenting because of the responses I got. Every time I saw my mailbox was red, I panicked. I mostly stuck to non-political subs and discussions, but even commenting on something mundane would lead to people attacking me and being rude. I started prefacing everything with, "this is just my opinion, but..." and other placating words. Really dumb when you think about it.
