One thing I've noticed personally is an extreme response to general statements. Even when the statement is vague, has no real action to it, etc. There is this assumption that everything someone says is either steeped in hidden agenda or otherwise nefarious when it doesn't immediately align with someone's ideology. Even if ideology isn't a part of the discussion or anywhere near the context.
An extreme (hypothetical) example would be mentioning a pizza I ate, and having someone jump on it as if you were telling everyone they had to eat that pizza or that the toppings you chose are actually a sign of how you support fascism.
That said, I appreciate opportunities to learn and have my own beliefs challenged. Even if there is hostility. I can understand that having someone come here and say something dumb, or having another troll come through, can be tiring.
