I usually add some useful context in the post-body of the posts I make.

Sometimes, it’s rather apparent when someone replies (typically antagonistically) without realizing that I’ve already addressed their concern in the body of the post that they decided not to read.

Strive to be more than a knee-jerk reaction.

    If there’s text in the body, I’ll always read it.

    Now a better question is if you asked us if we read the linked article before commenting lol.

      Touché.

      (I typically don’t, myself. I look for a reply that gives me a tl;dr of it.)

      I don’t read the article if there’s any kind of paywall, advertisements or too complicated gdpr shit. Otherwise I at least try to skim the article.
