Do you think members on Worthy try to push other member's buttons? What is the best Christian approach to this?

I think a lot of what is called "pushing buttons" is people actually being called out on what they said and asked to support it.  People are used to making comments and most people are too polite to make them explain or defend their positions.   But a few of us are not

It all depends on how a person calls another member out on what they said. A person becomes confrontational and another person gets angry and snaps back. That is how people end up on a vacation or being banned from a thread. How do we deal with these people who do not respond in a Christian manner?

When you say a "Christian" manner you are really saying in a "Christ like manner".  I would put forth that at time even our Lord was what some might call confrontational.   Go look at Matthew 23, Jesus was not really very polite at all.

As for your question, that is up to each individual to decide.  Some respond back in kind, some in a nicer manner, some walk away and some put that person on ignore.

Jesus never did have an "attitude" or was he unkind. Jesus never did sin.

Others with more patience than me may disagree, but I treat those that continually do that the same as I treat a troll...I ignore...at least I have gotten the best results that way. Others may have more patience and they try to 'work with' them. 

I think that ignoring them is a great idea if you can do it. Or a kind reply. Sometimes it get really frustrating working with negative.

I think they pinch our pride so that we want to 'get back' at them, that's why ignoring them is hard. :(

Pride is dangerous. The Bible does not have a lot of good to say about it.

You realize that pink image has a link on it that is a really bad place. A new age consciousness type place. Is it really something to promote here?
