Regardless of the merit of a comment, I downvote on principle when being baited like this.
- krapp 7y agoYour reaction to "bait" is to always bite the hook on principle? Good to know, I guess.
- ses1984 7y agoThe idea is to discourage users from setting the bait in the first place, it's not great comment etiquette. Just never say you expect to be down voted.
- krapp 7y agoThe idea should be to discourage petty and arbitrary downvoting. That also isn't great comment etiquette, and it's far more corrosive to discourse than discussing downvotes, yet it's encouraged here.
