Looks like Primefac just deleted it. Thanks! TiggerJay (talk) 19:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

That user

A word of advice: please just let them be and stay away from their talk page. No need to add fuel to the fire. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Editors bating

I'm puzzled by your reference on ANI to the possibility that editors are bating one another . Can you elaborate?

Asking here on your talk since the ANI thread might get archived before you have a chance to review it again, given that you mention on your user page that your editing comes in spurts . EEng 04:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

The only thing there that everyone should bait is a trout. Confuseus said "Give a man a worm stacked upon a minnow and he'll look at it strangely, teach a man to bait and he'll look strangely for a lifetime". Randy Kryn (talk) 04:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Randy Kryn - agreed! But sadly people love to bait, as well as take the bait. TiggerJay (talk) 04:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

I would suggest that given the contentious nature of the topic this is referring to, that when Hob made this first contribution to the talk section here, that his statements of Let's trust Donald Trump and his brown-nosers instead, they have no vested interest at all, as well as Irony aside, aspersions such as yours are exactly the reason why LL is a conspiracy theory. was purely inserted just for an emotional reaction from Lardlegwarmers and not necessarily a serous comment. Per the bait "nutshell" Goading others into making uncivil comments is a common tactic., and furthermore it says carefully remaining superficially civil. I think that is partially what we see illustrated here. And I believe that Lardlegwarmers took the bait and ran with it. I suggest the best thing would have been for them to completely ignore the bait, and continue with the discussion of the content and the merits of the disucssion.

Responding to the ping from EEng: I'm not going to look at ANI for this, but I will simply say with complete confidence that Misplaced Pages has many master baiters. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Tryptofish: I'm not sure what @EEng's point was in this talk page message as they never replied after I answered the question, nor their point in pinging you. From what I can tell, they haven't been involved in that specific discussion over at ANI. Perhaps it was simply reactionary thing without reading the entire thread in context. I'm not particularly concerned either way with baiting coming up in contentious discussions between experienced editors -- that sometimes happens, and while disruptive, often isn't egregiously so. It was more of a cautionary statement to Lardlegwarmers that baiting exists and to avoid it, not so much of an accusation against Hob who "might" have been baiting with those charged statements.
