    Um, do you fools even know what flamebait is? It's not a fashion color option for something you otherwise would have modded "troll". I'd think that for this to be flamebait, at the very least, I'd have to say something controversial. Moreso, it should almost always be reserved for those statements that are intentionally inflammatory. Examples:

    Flamebait = "Jesus Christ was a sissy."

    Non-flamebait = "Wikipedia articles deserve their own icon/category."

    Stay tuned for Moderation Lesson #2, where I explain why a first post cannot be "redundant". Oh, and go to hell.

    Now James, it's not nice to belittle Slashdotters' Most Fearsome Weapon. :)
