I agree, but, discussions don't last forever, so, if I chose to participate and can't respond in time, I am simply locked out of participation and this hurts my mental health more, not less. Sometimes people ask me to clarify things and I simply can't! How is this contributing to the quality of comments they pretend to strive for? If my comments are low quality, they will get downvoted and hidden! Isn't this the mechanism to automatically fight low quality comments?! Why add yet another layer on top of it, which is entirely subjective as my comments could be poor in one discussion, but great in another - I'm restricted from both though!
