If you saw it, you would have reported it.


No, I wouldn't. I am strictly supportive to freedom of speech, so I would not report anyone. I don't report anyone, I never reported anyone, ever. Actually, I only reported once, I think about nine years ago, back when I was way younger. A user continuously was trash-talking my family vaguely, and after two or so hours, I reported him, he acted like he was my best friend, then afterwards, after his ban was lifted, continued trash-talking me in PMing after getting mad at me. Now, I would not ever care.

There's freedom of speech, and then there's crossing a line that everyone has. For me, insulting family is one thing I would never do no matter what. And there are certain things that should never be said under certain circumstances, like calling the mentally disabled retards, or saying something demeaning to an assault victim. In my opinion, reporting someone who insults your family is completely justifiable.

Of course, like yourself I never report anyone, although I did report those who insulted my family, or PMed lewd things or pedalled phishing and botting sites. As for this guy who trash-talked you and your family, just add him to your ignore list. Freedom of speech is one thing, but insulting family or saying things out of malice is just out of order.

Indeed, there is a difference between freedom of speech and deliberate bad behavior. There are also people who use freedom of speech as a defense for their stupidity. But yes, dishonest spamming and insulting someone is behavior that should be reported.

Ah yes, I also reported bots advertising websites, especially when they PMed me, I kinda forgot about that. Oh, and that guy who was a trash-talker, that happened many years ago, about eight years ago or so, I dunno, so that's long-gone. Of course, I may have reported other users and not remember.

It also depends who you are. I noticed that people most likely to report anything are, what I would call, weaklings. A little while ago, on internet, someone was semi-trash-talking a friend of mine who has been dead for quite a while, and I did not get angry whatsoever. People who lived a real real-life tend to be tough and resistant to insults, that's what I noticed.

And then there's me arguing in FaceBook, and so far, 100% of the time, who I am talking to either deletes all of one's posts or simply disappears suddenly. What irritates me more than censorship, is when someone is not being censored, who has freedom of speech, yet refuses to address the topic and just backs off. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong, it could be that too.
