How about: "The person you are replying to isn't a mutual and they have a history of getting into stupid fights with everyone, just look at the negative sentiment scores on all those replies. Do you really want to risk this?"
"The sentiment score on all the replies in this thread is highly polarized, you probably are stepping into the middle of tribal warfare. Do you really want to do that?"

They just got in a fight with a obnoxious person, you'll be lumped together with them. Do you really want to do that?"
