I've read the guidelines before and I just read them again. I didn't think I was baiting anyone or inviting anything. Mere mention of modding is not an invitation.
- scott_s 17y agoI interpret "I'm sure I'll get modded down" as baiting.
- jm4 17y agoOk, fine. Your interpretation. Do you mind explaining yourself? It's not so clear to me how it could be interpreted that way. That was by no means an invitation. It was a way of saying that I felt what I was saying was likely to be unpopular.
- scott_s 17y agoThe juxtaposition makes it like a dare. It's a passive-aggressive way of saying "go ahead and downmod me - I dare you." I think even mentioning your perception of the popularity of what you're going to say is bad form. Say what you want to say; your perception of its popularity is irrelevant.
