Please avoid sharing opinions that, while they may not violate our terms of service/rules, could still be offensive and extremely hurtful to others. Additionally, if you choose to share such views, it's unreasonable to criticize others for responding in kind.

For example, spouting "I don't date fat women" or " I think all women belong in the kitchen" doesn't violate our terms of service or rules, but it's still offensive. You can expect people to have strongly worded replies. It doesn't mean Spoutible is toxic; it means you said something stupid.

Connelly, the tips that I learned for addressing hateful messages:

1. Take a a few secs to breathe.
2. Re-read the comment. Could it be meant in jest or as sarcasm?
3. Let the person know that their message was not okay.
4. Ask the person to not repeat the offense.
5. BLOCK if repeated.

... also, if the spout in question isn't directed specifically to you but is something you find generally offensive, check the date: some spouts depend on their temporal contexts and @Spoutible & some users repost or echo items from many months prior. Sometimes context matters.
