| Jun 16, 2014 at 13:59 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | Maybe a better way of putting it would be a more detailed explanation of why would greatly improve this answer. Something that explains why some of the other more obvious solutions are less/not effective/advisable would be good as well. Its not that I think you are wrong, but rather that I do not understand why you are right. | |
| Jun 16, 2014 at 13:50 | comment | added | O. Jones | @Chad, I'm surprised at your comment. In the answer I wrote "He's doing it to get a reaction from you. If he doesn't get the reaction he won't keep up the silly behavior." Isn't that an explanation? Or were you hoping for more detail? Thanks! | |
| Jun 16, 2014 at 13:31 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | I like this answer and think that it demonstrates how to use the principle well. But it does not explain why not responding to it is the proper course of action. I think the answer would be greatly improved with that explanation. | |
