I lurked instead of commenting on Reddit because there was always that fear that the slightest poor word choice could result in the hounds being released. Secondary to that is often not having anything unique to add to a conversation. I have been trying to contribute more here.
A very interesting insight--thanks for helping me understand the lurker dynamic/psychology. I guess I've felt the fear: many times I've composed a post or comment--and then backed out for fear of having to deal with a shit show as a result. Being a solo mod might have some advantages in that way...
