Suppose we can take this as your concession that you don't actually want to debate but just bait like a little child? Take that shit to twitter, lad.

Honestly not sure what you expect when you come to a debate site, post a thread, and then try to dismiss posts attacking the premise by claiming without any foundation that they can't have read it if they don't agree.

Is that not the sort of behaviour more fitting for a less fact-oriented and more emotion-based setting such as twitter? Is your response not childish and baity rather than an honest attempt at a discussion? Is calling you out for this and saying that this is how you're acting a reasonable response? Why yes it is. Bang to rights, and I'd appreciate it if you could now go back and engage honestly with my original post rather than wasting my time both there and now here.

Meanwhile I'll continue to dream of a world where gratuitous and dishonest reporting itself attracts red text.

I'm not seeing the reported posts as actionable; there's nothing here exceeding the general background level of hostility one expects from debates in NSG. This section, however:
Suppose we can take this as your concession that you don't actually want to debate but just bait like a little child? 

Does steer a little close to trollnaming, which is actionable in and of itself. I would advise Dumb Ideologies, and everyone else, to avoid accusations of baiting or trolling in debate threads. If you suspect someone else of baiting, report them or, if you don't feel the intent to bait is clear enough for a mod to take action, just ignore them.

See? DI is trying to avoid trollnaming by using brand new "baitnaming". Right here, in Moderation. What's the difference? I'd like to hear a second opinion.

I agree with OT, it's not actionable. That said, DI, you've made your point, here and in the thread. If Sharania isn't engaging you as you prefer, move on.
