I report many posts that tend to be personal attacks or other violations of the terms of service. Disagreement is fine. Personal attacks are not fine, and sadly too often people get emotional and resort to personal attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How pathetic. I've never reported anyone. Bear in mind that reporting something is not always "telling on someone" nor complaining to George. There may be a topic which belongs in a particular subforum which our brother established specifically for discussions about the matter at hand (Calvinism and Arminianism, for example). The report serves as the "eyes and ears" of the moderators who volunteer their time to serve this ministry. Once in while, posts which are entirely inappropriate do indeed surface. Reporting these posts is not a bid to land the member in question in trouble... rather, it's an opportunity for the one who did such a thing to receive care and counseling where it's needed the most. When it's necessary for me to intervene in a dispute between clients where I work, I'm not doing so to discipline anyone involved. I do this for the sake of peace so that this remains a safe place for everyone. No one should fear for their lives in this shelter at any time. As it turns out, many disputes are caused by personal issues the complainants are currently struggling with in their lives. It's my job to observe, listen, and render judgment in the best interests of all. This applies to Worthy as well. If what we do is in the interest of all, then the interests of all are served.
