What is the best Christian approach to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
