"To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or
flames; or, the post 
itself." 

definition: from jargon file 

>From Edmund W's posting: 
"I'm content to be considered a "criminal" by the ICC -- it has no  
jurisdiction outside of countries which have signed its stupid treaty  
-- and I never travel to those dumb places anyway. So there! Nyaah, nyaah. 

I stay in the civilized world, where there is Rule By Law -- not  
kangaroo courts making politicized decisions in favor of ruthless  
dictatorships." 

"stupid treaty", "dumb places", "stay in the civilized world", "kangaroo
courts" ... 
Puh, I agree with the previous poster that this has all appearances of a
troll. But actually it is not 
important if this a "troll" or "flame" post. I was just very very
disappointed to read such 
statements from Ed for whom I had a lot of respect.  

>  I agree in substance with Ed's views on the ICC, 

for the record: I don't.

Ack.
