Isn't there a rule about 'baiting' here?

Tue Apr 19, 2011 7:40 pm

Sorry for the thin skinned foolish public post and the mods can delete it if out of order, but I have no problems being told I'm wrong or out of line when one or both, but I do have a problem with being baited into an internet forum argument, especially when it's imature and childish. Sorry folks but I cannot help to try to defend myself when someone is purposely trying to bait me in public. I'm sure the last thing anyone wants here on WIX is to be called out and forced to defend yourself on a public forum. I'm sure a PM stating your problem with anything I post would be much better than a public forum fight. I'm not sure why or what your motives are you know who you are but I've noticed you have been a bit of an agitator here recently for God knows what reason. I'm a pretty easy going guy these days, not like I used to be, and I would like to try to contribute in my own simple way to the great stuff here on WIX and not be pissed away like a lot of others over the past few years. Lets all get along and play nice. It's really a great place for all of us to play. Please don't try to ruin it. Thanks for understanding the post folks.

Flame suit on

I just never take the bait.
There's no point in it.

I'm not sure what thread you're referring to, but as I've learned time and time again over the years is that it is easy to get drawn into arguments on the internet with someone who seemingly has something to prove or an axe to grind.

The best tactic (and the hardest to follow) is to simply pretend that "other guy" doesn't exist.

And to answer your question, I don't think baiting is a desired behavior in this forum or any other forum where people come together to further their knowledge about a topic. If you go to a political forum, I think baiting is more or less expected, but you know that when you go there...
