If your reply is risky, make it a standalone reply

TL;DR if you are replying to something that’s risky, as in “this might eventually be deleted by moderators because it’s negative / bad / ugly”, use an independent reply. Or simpler still, don’t respond to trollies in the first place, that’s always good advice.

Absolutely. And if in doubt, reply separately. Seems good advice.
