I'll be honest, there was a recent thread bitching about me that got taken down where the dominant complaint seemed to be "The jerk just posts every little thing that pops up in his head, fuck that guy, but ya sometimes he creates some interesting discussion".

It was absolutely pathetic and banal and kinda shows why it doesn't always pay to be contributing and organically creating engagement. I don't post as much anymore cuz I just don't have as much enthusiasm for participating anymore.

Edit: to be fair, one takeaway for me that nobody actually said was I wanted to be way more handsoff in my posts cuz it was a bit much to be as engaged/in the weeds as I was gettting and also, I prefer to let my posts and top-levels + responders to speak for me and I can avoid tampering or influencing the way the discourse plays out as to how the truth-seeking dynamic of it is consequently served
