    I see why you’re getting at, but I think you’re mistaken.

    Rage-bait works by evoking a reaction. It spreads because people become incensed and then feel the need to share the reason for their anger.

    This is the opposite of reaction. It is a calm response to the OP explaining why they are reacting to rage-bait and inviting them to reconsider their posting.
