Inappropriate Flagging... Mindgirl posted a very inappropriate attack on Christians and Christianity. Mindgirl or her friends then took offense at my responses to her attacks and appear to have flagged my responses because they began disappearing one by one.

This kind of flagging is not proper or appropriate. It is a form of attack upon an individual for no better reason than she does not like what I have to say but is incapable of carrying on a civil debate or responding to honest and straight-forward questions asked in a civil and respectful manner.

I have been a long time very active member of EP. I strongly resent this kind of behavior against me. If EP cannot establish fair and equitable means of dealing with this issue, I will leave EP as have many of my conservative and moderate friends who are no longer willing to put up with unfounded attacks by anarchists, extreme liberals, and others who incite people to anger and then refuse to honestly debate them by flagging them.

This is unacceptable and unconscionable behavior.

When a member behaves inappropriately, please flag their account/post so staff and review and address it quickly.

Using the flagging system maliciously to flag content that doesn't violate EP Community guidelines is a violation of our terms of service. We review flags and track who is flagging what. Members who repeatedly misuse the flagging system will be suspended from EP.

We're investigating this situation. In the meantime block this member to prevent them from interacting with you.

EPArsineh -- Please see the exchange above from gypsyblu. She in essence admits that she and her friends "Flag" people who disagree with them or who they believe have "taken sides" against them with someone else with whom they disagree. These people need to be instructed on the rules regarding flagging and if they continue, they need to be banned from EP.

Yet she's making herself out to be quite the martyr, lol.
