Do assinine flame bait threads annoy you?

[no name no slogan]

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.

[Cant trust em]

2. I stopped taking the bait

I spent two weeks responding to thoughtless morons. I like to read honest analysis.

[Flabbergasted]

3. Not any more. Most of the prime offenders are on my Ignore list.

[EFerrari]

4. Sure they do and lately, I've been too ready to reply in kind.

I need to have my DUing washed out with soap or something.

5. It's not that we can't handle them, it's that the mean-spiritedness and

deceit are a lethal combination.

Most of us do not feel that way about each other.

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.

[panader0]

I posted one a minute ago and now I've lost all respect for myself.

[Guaranteed]

9. Yes. We need more enforcement of the regulations enforcement. nt

11. There is some concern over jurisdiction

[Danger Mouse]

10. The trolls are out in full force the past couple days.

[demnan]

12. I said no

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.

[Faygo Kid]

13. Bad spelling is also annoying as hell.

It's also asinine.

14. In this case, assinine is more appropriate

thx for the grammar lesson :eyes:

[bunnies]

15. absofuckinglutely! nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. That and polls like this one

Just kidding, just kidding about the "polls" part.

Flame bait threads are tedious, at best.
