how is this thread not considered "baiting"? jr giddens strikes again by creating this type of thread....then is no where to be found in the thread, several pages later. his motive wasnt to have a legit discussion, but to instigate emotions/responses from others.
It seems like a legitimate question to me. The C's had a lot of trouble in Atlanta last year, and Atlanta has been great at home again this year.
the question itself could be legitimate.....but lets be realistic here and take a step back for a second and look at the big picture. why enable his creating these threads?
this poster has done this several times. it is pretty clear, not just through this thread, but also historically, that his motive is not to start a discussion, but rather to generate a response or reaction. in these threads he creates, he often will not respond in the thread after creating it. if this question and thread was brought up by someone else, that does not have a history of doing so, it could absolutely be a legit question/thread to discuss.
im not trying to stir the pot and create an issue. im just confused why nothing has been done and he is allowed to continue his pattern, when it seems so apparent what his motives are, and that it is against the blog rules.
this is from the blog rules:
# Do not “lure” or “bait” others towards rule-breaking behavior. This prohibition applies site-wide. Responding to such “bait” in a manner that violates Celticsblog rules is equally inappropriate, and is subject to the same level of punishment.
# No “trolling”. Commenting in a thread in a manner that is likely to provoke an angry response from others is not permitted. Posters should appreciate that in many instances, commentary that would otherwise be appropriate may not be appropriate in a specific thread (i.e., bringing up rumors of alleged cocaine use by a beloved player in a tribute thread dedicated to the memory of that player, etc.)
