Macca Beam responds rudely to 90% of everything. I don't think I've ever seen him try to find common ground with anyone; he attempts to derail conversation before it even has the chance to start. Some of his responses to people are hard to read and are poorly constructed.... which isn't fair to whoever his victim of the day is. It's stupid and annoying how he acts on this forum, and I'm done biting my lip on his bs.
I understand annoying more than stupid. His inflammatory posts are definitely bait, but not bait in the "haha made you mad" kind of way. They're designed to get people to say a certain thing that traps them into a position that he wants to criticize. It creates scapegoats out of people which is not not exactly optimal, but if you look past the shock factor there's generally a point being made.
