I need to protect myself better ...

A continued good day to everybody else!

I don't know, of course, what happened on the religious forum. But I have a thought. Perhaps you lecture people a bit too much? Advising people about matters they are already well aware of may cause people to feel put down and that their life experience is being negated. I know, in my own life, that I have to be careful to ask rather than tell. When we tell people how to behave, or tell people obvious things they are already aware of it feels condescending. Being condescended to is a terrible feeling.
