Going back to the start of this topic:
"I have just been reading through some posts and it became apparent to me that there can be a range of responses to the same post. Trying to put a little of what my T teaches into practice about different perspectives of the same situation - I wondered whether there is value in exploring what our own responses to posts say about ourselves and where we are in our healing / recovery"

I think your T has put you on a good "food for thought" path.

From reading what others have written in here, I am concluding that we all tend to show a lot of our inner selves - including the personal pain each of us deals with and the emotions we have when others respond in a way that might be interpreted as helpful or feeling hurtful.

I think many of our responses to posts are heavily weighed against where each of us is personally on our path to recovery.

I know my emotional responses are definitely related to my place on my path...

Early on the path some responses can feel very hurtful (even if the person posting was intending to provide what they thought might be helpful advice).

Even further along the path some of the responses still might seem unkind and very contradictory to our current state of mind and progress.

Responses can be seen as a reflection of where the poster feels they are on their own path. And if we stop and think about that, we might discover that there is something to take away from every response we read.
