My feelings exactly. 

As for baiting vs. taking the bait, my wife sees this among 4th graders 
all the time.  A trouble maker, too smart to risk getting in trouble 
himself, keeps poking at someone to set /them/ off.  He gets the rush 
while the other kid gets in trouble.  Howard seems good and practiced at 
this.  I saw a lot of people who never caused problems on this list, to 
my knowledge, take his bait; I did so myself.

People who get their rush by getting others to lose it get a big part of 
their fulfillment when their targets get into trouble.  Please don't 
feed into that.
