It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

That’s not what entrapment means.

Pretty sure even if they did what would have met the legal definition of entrapment, it still wouldn't be considered entrapment because it has to be the state doing it, not a magazine.

Even cops plant bait bikes all the time, with trackers, and arrest whoever steals them. Still not entrapment. A few minutes of research could have cleared this up.

To be fair, entrapment is one of the most widely misunderstood legal things. I point this out because it’s useful to know what the law actually is. Also: ACAB
