Talk about splitting hairs. The graph you posted sure doesn't seem like it was baiting to get discussion going. No, that graph was clearly posted as a means of baiting people into what could possibly be a negative reaction. You even said yourself following that that even though it didn't target anyone specifically, you aren't surprised by the responses and who responded. That's typical baiting.

You are truly grasping at straws here. Posting of photos of smog in Beijing could be said to accomplish the same end, as could posting a photo of a watch of Mao Tse-tung. The photo of the graph was posted as an aid to my opinion of the ongoing debate, just as the smog photos had been posted by another user. Sure you are offended because you seem to me to be type of person who thinks they know more then they truly do, and deep down you are aware of it. Another user on OT named Darth Chaltab has a sig graphic putting down liberals.
This is also the same as my graph. It's without question meant to offend a number of members, and that is in no way different. You are annoyed when confronted with what you consider to be an insult, but that's your problem. It's sure not Bannable in other cases on this board. If my views are not popular, so be it. You may be happyier in a culture like that in China. You just seem to to take to wanting to silence your political and social opposers. This method is a common trait with fascists and communists. Not saying you are one, just pointing that out.
