I actually wrote a big reply mentioning a time I did this... and deleted it because I didn't want to chance another dog-pile.

    I cancel posting comments all the time. I write out this whole thing and then when I get to the end of it, I realize I don’t actually want engagement. Sometimes the internet can be a bit hostile and I’m not always in the right state of mind to want to invite it into my life that day.

    Absolutely. I've written multiple paragraph responses, and then I realize I may have to argue that or just engage more than I'm willing to at that time and just delete it. I've got more important things to do than engage in Internet discourse.
