Can we be adults now. /me watches for the avalanche of downvotes that always happen when you point this kind of thing out around here.
- DanBC 11y agoYou are getting downvotes for your baity tone. Other users pointed this out to you. > Resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. > Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downvote you.
- harry8 11y agoSo what is the correct pattern? When you know it's going to happen to predict it to show the idiocy? Or to say post later looking sore? I think predicting it on the back of a reasonable post when you know what is going to happen despite it's reasonable nature kind of highlights the problem that exists here. I think I have a pretty good sense of when a post is going to get slammed in downvotes rather than responded to sensibly, so testing it with a proper demonstration seems to be the right thing. YMMV. I have tried the other way too by the way. I didn't bait nor invite, I predicted. And did so correctly. But I don't believe in calling people names like "conspiracy theorist" I think that is intellectually lightweight. I wonder if you do too?
