There's no frustration. I proffered a bit of advice in regards to knowing your environment and what may/may not be useful in those situations. Seems as if I was not blunt enough.
But it's political. That's a no-no here..... Please stop posting political posts here at TMO. I ask kindly that you follow the rules of TMO in that regard..... The only pity is that you've brought politics..... I don't bring the party to the church, so please don't bring the church to the party.

3) It can be argued that Gerbick (“took the bait”) has an opinion that clashed with one of the posts.
4) It can be argued that we are all trying to diffuse what is perceived by some, to be a problem.
