I thought I'd just point out about the most blatant attempt at flamebaiting I have ever seen: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13159412&postcount=26

Notice how he does it "just to get them riled up".

I mean, come on...

EVERY thread is an attempt to get people "riled up" so that they can have a discussion. Surely you realize that if we eliminate all such, we won't have a forum, we'll have an episode of TeleTubbies.


Mild trolling at best. Not worth warning over.

Thank you for posting that link, though, SeathorniaII. I wouldn't have read the thread through if you hadn't, and it's a real treat. NSGeneral at its best. The OP is intrigued enough by the arguments presented to try to argue back.

Sure, he's got a bit to learn about how to conduct himself on these forums, but the Generalites are showing him how it's done, and it's impressive.
