The issue with banning Rage Bait

Are you saying communism is already part of the American political party system?

Hi, I'm Sarah McLachlan. Will you be an angel for a helpless ragebaiter? Every day, innocent ragebaiters are verbally abused, mocked, and, worst of all, sanctioned.. For just $18 a month—only 60 cents a day—you'll help rescue a ragebaiter... Call or join online... Please call right now. Don't let their cries for attention be silenced.

(Music: "Angel" plays)"In the arms of the angel, fly away from here...

Here's some examples:

You can have ragebait from both sides.

She should try GoFundMe.

Yes. Each time leftists get in power, they bring USA closer to Communism.

If by 'closer to communism' you mean further from unregulated capitalism, then I agree.

Yep, if comments on a debate site weren't intended to elicit a response then inertia would prevail.

The comments would provide the inertia.

I was under the impression you viewed ragebaiting as acceptable behavior. Am I mistaken?

How about this?

I think he's saying that if other rage bait is acceptable, it follows that his rage bait is acceptable as well. Cause he's fine with both.

Well, that naively paints the world in black and white - not all ragebait is equivalent.

Well, replies are progressive and ignorance is inertia.

And comments are replies.

And "rage bait" of variable intensity is necessary to cause and effect...Sort of a LITTLE BANG or a MEDIUM SIZED BANG or a BIG BANG or even a WHOPPING HUGE GREAT MONTEROUS BANG.

Though currently Shoresy does not provided us with sound and pictures.

And whatever Sarah is doing to the dog, seems to be working.

When are the votes being counted?

Maybe, but it's not like we can agree on who gets to decide.

Its not "maybe", its *definitely*, and we as a community decide.

Yes, perhaps I am expecting too much...

So its subjective opinion of masses, not definite.

Welcome to society. Those that dont like it are welcome to remove themselves from the group and function in the world completely independent and alone.

Having some knowledge about wilderness living, I'd wager most people crying about the masses are incapable of surviving without them.

The original witch trials were based on the same behavioral mechanics we now recognize as ragebaiting - manufacturing moral panic and exploiting outrage for personal/political gain.

Are you suddenly against ragebaiting now?
