[Appeal] Warning for flamebait

[Ungthjodherjarnir]

Just going to copy-and-paste it from the thread I posted it in.

The thing I hate about police shootings is that they don't start the race war.

*** Warned for flamebait ***. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of this site.

How is this flamebaiting?

I didn't say "All blacks should be lynched." or "All jews need to be gassed." I simply expressed my opinion. I understand there isn't a concept of free speech here, but I'm just not seeing the reasoning behind this.

You weren't warned for trolling; you were warned for flamebaiting, which is making a statement with the intent to provoke an angry response. The warning stands.

I wasn't intending to provoke an angry response.

You stated it that it was unfortunate that police shootings didn't result in a race war. That is inflammatory; that is a flamebait. You clearly meant to get an angry response. The warning stands.
