Next I thought I’d look at how Christians should act in situations of conflict. From the Bible, Christians are called to stop arguments as quickly as possible. For example, in the book of Proverbs, Christians are taught
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
This can easily be extrapolated to the internet, where Christians are often in a position to pursue quarrels, with the promise of anonymity and the ability to hide their Christian identity. In light of this passage, Christians on the internet should be seeking to end conflict as quickly as possible, and not to initiate arguments where they could be avoided.
