because it feels a bit patronising
I know the feeling. So I've developed a skill I call: don't overthink it! I get a reaction, I write it, hit the post button and bam, there it is. Stupid or not, patronizing or not, there it is. Because on some days when I think beforehand, I end up posting no comments at all. I may write several comments but never post those because they all sound bad or weird or stupid.
"Hey that's a nice tune. I enjoyed it, thank you for sharing."
With my broad music taste, the day when I post something you really hate, is only getting closer and closer. :D
