There is an element of baiting that goes on when Tracy posts comments. It is done in an insidious way so that it can later be denied as being "just snark" or "just a question".   But reasonable people can infer what is going on in those posts and realize that they are meant to be bait.  

Tracy, however, needs to deal with this in ways other than blowing up.

I would refer Tracy to Teach313's excellent diary about how he taught third graders the tactic of ignoring bullies and not taking the bait.

Oh get over it. Baiting Tracy by posting our opinions? For fucks sake is this Free Republic or a progressive community? I am allowed to have whatever opinions I want and to express them. That's not baiting, it's a community discussion.

If you'll take a look, Tracy had the first bait comment in super's thread and it worked quite well for her. Look at all the sympathy she's garnered.

Yup, BooTrib's Armando/BTD.

No, I will not get over it.

I will, however, refer YOU to Teach313's excellent diary about ignoring baiting.  Since you fell for my bait.  

You are a bully spiderleaf.  And, to make it perfectly clear, I will be ignoring your further comments in this diary.

If you were baiting then you proved your own point; that I fell for it proves mine. Nice one.

Whatever Mary, I stopped respecting you a long time ago when I saw how you operate over at dkos. Really couldn't care less that you think I'm a bully... right, by posting my words disagreeing with you and others you agree with. I'd point you to my diary on "the road to kingdom come" but obviously you can only see the perspective you want to.

Okay, I get it now. Thanks so much for enlightening me.
