Fair enough.
I largely agree.
And, you are right, this article was not particularly overtly baiting.
But IF some Proties related to it as SOME RC’s relate to some of our posts, then they would call it baiting.
I think the whole issue of baiting is much overwrought.
If you don’t like the heat—stay out of the kitchen. If you want to play iron sharpening iron as I also love,
then take the sparks as they come and go on
with Christian charity. As, I think, you essentially say.
You are really a lot more likeable than I’d always want to let on like. Can’t allow that hat size to increase dramatically and all.
Thanks for your kind msg.
