Poll question: Do assinine flame bait threads annoy you? |
|
You know the ones I'm talking about. They mainly consist of half truths posted just to annoy the supporters of one candidate or another.

1. Yes, because they don't add |

to the discussion. They're just designed to make edgy people chase their tails. Sadly, too many people take the bait.

6. I suppose if people are honest, they'd say it depends on whose ox is being gored |

If it's a clever flame, designed to incite one's enemy, why, it's amusing as hell. If it's aimed straight at one's OWN candidate, however, it's disgraceful, reprehensible, and these things should NOT be tolerated!! (shake fist, stomp foot).
At the end of the day, they're all just stupid bits of baiting bullshit. For the most part, they're lame, stupid and pedestrian. Every once in a blue moon though, we're treated to a bit of baiting from a MASTER BAITER.

because the enjoyment will be watching people eat humble pie when they come back after the primaries. If they don't come back, they weren't really DU people to begin with.

Flame bait threads are tedious, at best.
