It's either brilliant baiting or amazingly disingenuous.

It's the first one, don't bite.

So, what, you're telling me he actually works for the Rochester Chamber of Commerce and this is all part of a "let's empower our residents to defend our city online" campaign?

If so - It's clearly working...

Depends on what you mean by ""baiting"; my understanding of that term on this forum has always been that it means someone is making a bold/obnoxious statement/claim in order to get arise out of people and annoy them for the sheer fun of it. "biting" is when their mission is accomplished and a backlash of defensive posts come about.

I'd make way too many waves working for the city and the neanderthals working there now wouldn't be able to handle it. I sure could have some fun though I'm sure, at least for a few months.

And yes, I'mInformed is spot on.

Not exactly. Baiting is often used in serious debates as a tactic. For example, it is often used to expose faulty logic... Not that that's happened on this forum at all ;-)

[OverTaxedInNY]

Unfortunately, all of my logic is faulty because I just make sweeping generalizations, just ask garmin

[purdue512]

Generalizations are widely regarded as a poor debating tactic. Generalizations are usually what people reach for when they don't have specific knowledge on a topic. I catch myself doing it sometimes, but then stop myself and realize I need to invest the time and learn more about something before opening my mouth. No shame in not knowing (and admitting it).
