Not quite. Is it acceptable to bait someone into expressing a certain attitude? I’d be fine keeping things to myself* AS LONG AS others are similarly respectful or tolerant of my own views. If someone claims to hold to a Biblical view of morality and someone were to ask if that also means they believe homosexuality is immoral, that person would have to say, yes, it’s immoral. Then that person could be disciplined simply because someone else asked a question. Is it still wrong to bait someone into saying something offensive when he might not ordinarily say it otherwise?
*My actual view is that what someone does in his own bedroom is nobody else’s business. It has been made abundantly clear what views are welcome and not. In my efforts to abide by rules I’ve been accused of COVERT hate. It’s a bit much.
Baiting does happen in PPR, as an example.
I got caught out myself.
This is one of the reasons I don't go there anymore.
Having said that, I am not going to get involved in forensic analysis of what happened here.
That is for a mod to do, with your guidance, perhaps?
