A good example of this is if I'm replying with internet hugs in response to a "mh-" toot; leaving the original CW intact would be detrimental as my reply is, if anything, positive and I don't want to give the impression that I'm replying with more of the same. Stripping the CW completely feels wrong too. However a CW of "hugs; re: mh-" is unambiguous and, as all good CWs should do, tells you exactly what to expect.

When I'm replying to a CW'd toot, I'll do one of three things.

If I feel the CW also applies to my toot (my toot includes the same trigger or falls under the same topic), I'd leave the original CW intact.

If not, e.g. the toot was a selfie with CW "eye contact" and my reply is text only, then I'd prefix the CW e.g. "Re: eye contact". However if I feel my toot does include a trigger I'd format it "trigger; re: eye contact".

I shouldn't feel pressured to join a group event you're running just because I have a close relationship with you. I don't need to give you a reason why I don't want to, even though it's something I might usually enjoy. The truth is I don't know why myself. I get so stressed about the idea of joining in, and I can't name any reason why. But as well as that, I need my own free time.

I might lose followers over this, but it needs to be said. I find it extremely disrespectful when people don't stand for the national anthem. As soon as you hear “Tonight, I'm gonna have a real good time” you need to be OUT of your fucking seat.
