Do you ever criticize bad-behaving SWeeps in your own camp?

Poll - Total Votes: 6
Always - there is no bad behaviour in my camp! I make sure of that!
Frequently - I'm not a crusader but I hate it when some of my allies bring disgrace on the rest
From time to time - what they do is mostly none of my business but I'll sometimes keep them honest
Rarely - have to be super bad like encouraging self-harm or threats of violence, which never happens
Never - I'm the 95% of SWeeps in a camp that does nothing wrong; if we do it, it *isn't* wrong!

Of course, when someone from on another camp talks trash about your kind, you're [i]very[/i] quick to put him in his place! Are you just as strident when one of your conderates behaves the same way?

Edit: why do people keep talking about cliques? This isn't about cliques. This is about tribalism. Sectarianism. Nationalism, etc. and moving the goal posts depending on whether someone is an enemy or ally.

I have tried to encourage people--esp. extremists--to think of what they would do IF all the allegiances & players in some event/scenario under discussion were reversed.

IF people DO do this, it helps to reign in the rhetoric, and self-moderate the discussion.

Sauce for the goose...
@SomeMichGuy And I'm sure you also found that people would rather feel better about themselves instead of just bettering themselves. Social media is just about validating yourself

It sucks that you'll see that clique mentality anywhere you go. I suppose it's just human nature. We aren't far removed from our tribal roots in the grand scheme
@DanielChristensen there've been studies indicating we demonstrate this kind of favouritism when we're still babies!
We have camps?
No one tells me jack around here. I friggen love camping.
I voiced my non agreement in a kind of selfish way. I've said that I don't condone certain behaviors. That's about the extent of it.

I have privately written messages to most Christians here to ask them to remember to be loving since Jesus wants us to! But its hard when people come at us at times with lies, faulty accusations, and talk to others about us! Because it hurts!
@Carazaa private messages are discreet, but it's important that we publicly demonstration that Christians don't look the other way when it's Christians, or people posing as Christians, who are misbehaving

A "clique" is an exclusive group of people that rarely allows others to join.馃槒 I'm not part of any of that. A lot of them do look the other way with the mentality "as long as it isn't happening to me." When I see someone being mistreated here I often speak out. 馃棧锔廩i][b]STOP![/b][/i]
@Peaches then maybe it was a bad example with HJ. Yeah, he's a weirdo. Since he calls himself a (former?) pastor and a conservative, etc. I find him a big embarrassment.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I find him insulting and rude as hell. 馃懣馃敟 Some "pastors" and "church goers" are the meanest people I ever met!
@Peaches that's a shame. I've walked out of churches for one reason or another, but mean people wasn't one of them 鈽癸笍

I have set a few straight. Some people, on both sides, will believe anything they read.

I am having flashbacks from high school.

Hahaha you actually think there are cliques on a website? Thats so fucking stupid
@SW-User I don't know if "clique" is the right word. To me, in a clique, everyone knows each other. A camp is made of people who have some important things in common, but don't necessarily know each other
SW-User
Ill agree with that
SW-User
People have camps here?
