Snit seems to be following the maxim of least requirements. I expect
that if he were presented with a stronger form of argument, he would
react in a more proper fashion. However, as he gets (generally) low
level constructs thrown at him, he only works to the level required.
As an interesting side-note, observe what happens when you throw a pun
at him.

It's a bit of a 'meta' thing, so there's not a specific post to refer
to. Watch how he works with people. Different people trigger different
approaches. Step back a little and observe the picture containing the
picture...
The posts with the content snipped away seemed to draw the most ire, and
the most profound change in his tactics. However, the change seemed
detrimental to the group at large, so I would not recommend that tactic.
