and mebbe I get bit.
But I got NO prob of notifying deps if I feel a post has hurt another poster.
There is ratting in the 'street' sense, then there is civilized people trying to help in keeping order.
So ratting over every small slight is not what I might do, but if it was escalating and posters were trying to help and it was getting out of hand, the 'notify is ok.
If its blatantly hurtful, then notify is OK, if for no other reason than to validate hurt poster.
I think too much in this world we turn a blind eye, we say 'its not MY problem, its not MY job, its not MY responsibility, its not MY kid etc etc.
So for example, w/in an elementary school environment, I am a parent, but if I see something that causes me concern, I WILL notify someone, or take action myself. I add to the school community. There is a core group of parents that do this, and we are told we are appreciated, so it must be OK.
So I think in my exalted opinion that there is NOTHING WRONG with notifying, and I think its then up to admin what they gonna do about it.
FAIR??? I know I have somehow scooted under the radar more than once. Not so sure why, just know that it is so. SO, if that is unfair, then NOTIFY!!! Its up to US to make it fair, WE HAVE that option. I do not mind a justified PBC, its fair enuf if I have screwed up.
So while I do not like the role of RAT, I am (mebbe not here so much cuz I not around), but IRL I DO take responsibility for things in a more global sense.
I think if more did that, the world would be much safer, much kinder, and in the long run respectful....but then again...:-)
MEBBE I FULLA IDEALISTIC SH*T!!!!! LOL!!!! My eyes ARE brown....
