Perhaps, you do not know what the verse is actually saying?
When Christ said to turn the other cheek He meant to be humble when somewhat opposed.
To always allow a form of diplomatic view, to listen then to act accordingly.
During this time our adversary may decide to evaluate his/her decision in a more reasonable term.
Jesus, never intended for us to be a doormat when we can clearly see a complete denial of what is true; authentic.
"He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there."
"He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,"
"and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."
In the above verses Jesus has fashioned a whip and physically thrown the money changers from the temple:
Here, Jesus acted accordingly because the hebrews completely denied the purpose of His temple. John chapter 2, 14-16

Its the kids and the ones who never grew up. Sometimes that is all that is here. No serious questions or answers at all. Then they complain that they are being deleted. And cry for free speech. But they forget that this isn't an open forum. It is a question and answers place.

Perhaps you should quit reading answers even if that means you stop asking them.:) OR you could just blow them all off.
OR you could think of it as an exercise in patience.;)

My advise to anyone who regularly hits this particular site, especially R&S is to take a break from it every now and then.
Also consider the source.

There's lots of children here, hence lots of rude/immature answers.

it's only hard when you let it get to you. you need to remember people have different backgrounds, opinions and beliefs. taking offense is a matter of perception.

It is hard.
The hate here has made me angry and hateful too.
The fundies who target others to report have me more inclined to report too.
