I'm trying to recall the instances you speak of.
Perhaps when you begin a reply with: "Not to be snippy here."
The next poster may well decide, "I'm on the defensive, cuz he's going to get snippy."
When in fact your intentions were exactly the opposite.
But, by mentioning that fact, up front, that your post could be offensive,
that puts the idea, 'offensive' at the forefront of the reader's mind.
I'm just brainstorming here...that's all.
I'm curious to what 'the lying down game' might entail.
