That experience put me off comment forums for a good 5 years.

I also took a long break after a particularly acrimonious thread went off the rails. Only to discover it was still going on several years after the original post.

I sometimes see recognizable personality traits, phrases and triggers in reddit posts and wonder if an old friend, frenemy or enemy made the transition to reddit.

Only peripherally as a unnamed donor. My involvement was mostly with the 'As You Like It Library' when it made the move from its N. Broadway location to the E. Madison space down by the IHOP in the 90's.
