How do you feel about the behaviour of killing?

Question

Try imagine the report button as a gun. In this case you, by using it, is shooting at people and often with a virtual death as the result.

The behavior of killing is here in R&S and is quite noticable. Tons of shots are fired per minute.

How do the "report-people" feel about having killing behaviour?

(Remember - I'm talking about the behaviour of killing - not virtual death. I note this because some people have trouble staying on the actual topic of the question - which is "How do you feel about having killing behaviour?")

Answer 1

i guess it would depend on if it were in self defense or not. Self defense would be the only acceptable form for me.

Answer 2

This is an odd question (IMHO), but I'll try my best to answer it.

There is obviously a need for a report button: some kids JUST WON'T PLAY NICE with others, and there needs to be a way to "police" this type of discussion/society. Should abusive behaviour be tolerated? I think not! I have seen multiple people post absolutely DELIBERATELY HATEFUL crap, disguised as "questions", against Jews, Christians, Muslims, Athiests, Blacks, Whites, Women, Gays, and Lesbians. It is for this kind of "participant" that the report button was intended.

I believe that calling the lawful use of the "report" button a "killing" act is absurd.

Now, does that mean that the "report" button should be used as an ad hominem device? Absolutely not. If someone reading a question (or answer) finds they cannot counter either, that participant should MOVE ON to another topic. Be adults here, people!

Answer 3

That is an odd analogy and not one i would use, however you could shift this over to reality and you end up with pretty much the same behavior (albeit toned down).

The fanatical are ever inflexible and see any form of opposition as a direct threat, a threat to be eliminated, as I am sure you know any history book will provide ample examples of this.

If you had to shift the scene back several hundred years, you would probably find very little difference between the perpetrators of on line killing you refer to and those who persecuted and murdered in the name of faith... crazy religious fanatics who burned 'witches' at the stake or locked up poor old Galileo.

This whole scenario of course excludes those who report for valid reasons, such as blatant and needless vulgarity for the sake of being disgusting.

Answer 4

Killing behavior? I have no idea what you are talking about. The report button I have used sparingly - but it has nothing to do with killing or destroying anything. Bad analogy.

Answer 5

They just shot two of my questions, "What does God see in he looks in a mirror?" and "If Jesus returned today what would he like for lunch?"

They were brave questions and died honorably. Their sacrifice shall not be in vain. There comrades will honour their memory as the take there place in the Y!A line of questions.

Answer 6

killing people for other ideas is wrong, ive never reported a question, i dont know, i would report things like people trying to solicit minors for sex etc, but not just because they think differently from me even if i think their idea is completely stupid, even a terrorist has a right to express his opinion (without violence of course)

Answer 7

I was told when you make a valid point, that people can not counter, they report you rather than try
It is called cowardice
