Personally, I'm now scared to say much beyond "this was nice". What if they take something as a criticism? What if they think I'm demanding they update? What if they can't understand what I'm saying and misinterpret it? What if I've misinterpreted them and my comment shows it off?

AYRT - Oh man, I hadn't thought of it like that. It's kind of sad fanfic culture's become like that though.

Well, you have to choose whether or not you let nebulous fears cripple your communication with other people, or if you're able to stand up and be accountable for your words. I don't mean that in a harsh way, it's just that you run the risk of being horribly misunderstood when you say ANYTHING, even "Hello". It's important to figure out when your fears are founded and when you're simply worrying too much.

Well, when the OP of this very secret is second-guessing and becoming suspicious of as innocuous a comment as "this was really good" then it's not exactly a nebulous worry.

How is it not? It's not a worry that's based on evidence that the comment is anything but innocuous.

OP needs to chill imo.

It's the very definition of a nebulous worry. The OP is the one second-guessing and being suspicious, it's just paranoia on their part and not an actual case of someone being nice to their face while secretly withholding concrit.

But the "nebulous worry" thing was in relation to people leaving comments and worrying they'd be misinterpreted.

Which, as you say, is what OP's probably doing by second guessing a simple and honest comment that, if I was their reviewer, would now be making me second guess myself and worry about the kind of comments I was leaving.

It's made clear via Sam's conversation with Michael in "The Fall of Sam Axe" that, as of five years before the pilot, Sam knows about Michael's relationship with Fiona, though it's doubtful he's connected the dots at that point from Mike's "psycho" ladyfriend and the girl he once met while on government duty in Libya.

Personally I like it when people point out their favorite line from the fic but I don't think negatively of people who just tell me it was nice? I just probably won't say much to them in response, because what do you say that other than "thank you"? Also I like knowing when people misinterpret things, because that shows me where I need to improve. But you should just keep commenting whatever way makes you comfortable and don't worry too much about it.
