Vinegar Protocol explanation
It's my codephrase used when a thread has been selected by an objectionable individual for the purposes of starting a flamewar to satisfy their own sense of personal superiority.
I call those people Vinegars because of their sour dispositions.
It comes from a metaphorical expression:
"You catch more bees with honey then vinegar".
What it means is that if you want to change someone's opinions, being friendly has a higher chance of success then being unpleasant, which has none.
Now that I've explained the reason, please let this thread end.
