When a poster makes a disparaging remark about another, is it best to ignore than remark, possibly leaving the victim feeling hurt and isolated and the perpetrator triumphant, or is it better to remark that a post is distasteful and support the innocent party?
The latter reeks to me a bit like those who 'passed by on the other side'. Whereas the former at least offers the opportunity for an apology if the remark was genuinely misinterpreted or for over-aggressive posters to realise how others see their posts. Or of course a break out of hostilities!
Let's keep this clean folks, no names, no use of the b****ing word, no biting scratching or blows below the belt
