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.

I read the title, and if it interests me, go to the comments.
And if there’s something in the comments that hooks me enough to comment, I do. But often, I just check the article just so that I didn’t miss something important. I sometimes still do miss something important though.
But before I make a reply in anger, I check the article and the surrounding context first. I still have my blind spots, however.
