Nice back pedal.

They will bait people by saying things like that and if oojay was smart, he'd just let it go but he's a passionate person so he's most likely going to respond.

It's just like throwing out enough rope for people to hang themselves and specifically people that you know will have a high probability of doing so.

It's almost like entrapment

• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, trolling, purposeless inflammatory posts or members deliberately provoking another member into committing any of these acts.

I guess that part of the rule doesn't apply to mods.

That does happen quite frequently. I will say that I think it has less to do with being a mod, and more to do with being an experienced poster in a forum setting. Those two just coincidentally go hand-in-hand most of the time.

When you've been around these forums long enough, some people just learn to let people insult themselves, and in turn, let them dig their own grave. The art of subtle provocation.

i personally think pedo has got it in for me

ever since she's been elected, a lot of my harmless posts have disappeared

and I got an infraction, and it isn't even the first time I (or certain other people) have used fruity language on The Virgin

serves you right El Duce. justice will always prevail.

ha ha ha good of you to butt in

i'm actually getting a rare insight - i think pedo is secretly a racist and a xenophobe, and is actually keeping The Virgin as a foil to get me banned

then she'll ban The Virgin himself
