    Ahhh, I don’t know about sea lioning, I’ve never seen you doing it.

    That’s where you have someone “just asking questions”, and pretending not to know anything about the matter, while they’re pushing an agenda.

    You’d have to ask a mod if that’s the part of rule 5 they’re dinging you for, but if you’ve been doing it, the comments are getting removed before I’ve seen them.

    The other part of rule 5 is rage baiting, where you post something inflammatory just to get people riled up. Again, not something I’ve seen guy actually do, but I can understand how someone might read some posts that way.

    We’ve interacted a decent amount over the last few months, and you do have a different way of presenting questions, and a different way of thinking, I wouldn’t interpret your posts or comments as trolling. You’re consistent, you engage in a friendly manner, and don’t go over the top when someone gives you a little grief. But, again, I may not be seeing everything.

    My advice? Avoid politics entirely. Unless I miss my guess, that’s where you’re running into issues.

      You made a friend, OP. That honestly says a lot about your character

      Similar observations here. I certainly haven’t seen everything, but what I have seen matches your description. I appreciate OP creating much-needed content.

        Yeah, Don comes up with some really interesting stuff. To the point that even if I can’t provide a response, I’m happy to see their name.
