What a helpful post. Thank you. I have been apprehensive to flag a post for fear of retaliation. This explanation has helped ease some of those fears.
I would never flag someone for what I call trivial things like, opposing views or something one might deem offensive, none of that is any concern of mine. I'm more of a live and let live or a whatever floats your boat kinda person.
What I will flag, is someone out right stealing another's work and trying to pass it off as their own. I've run across this twice so far. I commented and asked for clarification first. It still amazes me that in this digital age folks think they won't get caught.
