just to add, The bashing I am refering to is the intent to enrage others. hate speech is not protected anylonger.

We can not judge others as being bashers because we don't agree with their views.I hate racism,but I will not try to stop the racist from voicing their views.To prevent anyone from voicing a view no matter how much I don't like it is still a violation of an individual freedom in America.
And while I don't agree with a racist view I will defend their right as an American to voice that view.To crush a view you don't agree with is to open the door to all opinions to be crushed as well .No this is America and all have the fundamental right to voice their opinion no matter how wrong or how much I disagree.

I believe that people who are obnoxiously bashing people should be reported however....constructive bashing (if you want to call it that) i think is ok....Some people come on here and say some of the most outrageously engraging things and theres nothing to do but explain to them how ignorant they sound.

I agree. But some people bash a little and then add a substantive comment or two. I think this is ok given the polarized political climate, don't you?

I only report racist language or threatening language. Otherwise, it usually annoys me to see someone resort to insults. But honestly, it gives me an excuse to insult them back.
I think it's easy to figure out whom you want to ignore based on the questions.
I don't tolerate racial or religious epithets or threats though. I just thought that could use repeating.

Why shouldn't you be reported for making a question irrelevant to the topic and of no use to anyone?

Every time I see it, I report it. It's like sweeping back the sea, but if one bigoted idiot gets the chance to shut up, it's worth it.
If you don't report, you enable.

Well, I would, but I can hardly distinguish between public opinion and a hate crime these days.
