Trust me, we've been mass-banned from plenty of forums, and it's EASY to have a Safari degenerate into insults... after all, you're invading another place, with regulars who will quip and wisecrack at you, and it seems like they're attacking but if you do it RIGHT you can stay in character, smooth it over, start picking up on their humor, and stick around... maybe even make friends.

It's the Safari, as an invasion, who has to play it cool. That's what makes the whole concept fun.

You want to troll? Troll. But if you're going to miss the whole point of the Safari concept, why even bother?
