One model for this type of behaviour/response in reaction to feelings of shame is known as the "Compass of Shame" (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233600755_Investigating_the_Compass_of_Shame_The_development_of_the_Compass_of_Shame_Scale https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233600755_Investiga...)

As a hint, you may be surprised to learn the person with multiple comments in question I was referring to isn't you. Yet you've sought this out and decided the most suitable response to why are two groups posting responses at different rates is to attempt to relitigate an imagined argument.
