To Coin a Phrase: The Great GrieferBaiter
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 10:18 AM by CorpGovActivist
Thanks to Zenlitened for this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2754032&mesg_id=2754032">enlightening post.

Now that we've all been educated about malicious flamers, will attitudes change about whether thought-provoking posts are "flame bait," and will we all begin to put the blame where it should have been all along - on the malicious flamers, or "griefers," instead?

- Dave

P.S. On edit: I suggest that we start calling "griefing" in alerts to the mods, when appropriate.

1. Glad to have the link, CorpGovActivist -- I missed that post and at first thought
a "grieferbaiter" might refer to someone who plays with himself at funerals.

Then I followed the trail you provided and it all made sense.

I'm heading to the kitchen for some coffee now. God bless America!

8. I Personally Believe...
... that thought-provoking posts that attract griefers should have the griefers penalized, not the OP.
