Over & over again I am reminded that my memory does not provide reliable evidence on its own. It always needs corroboration. Novelist Julian Barnes riffs on that idea here, & its consequences for changing one's mind.

In #Reason We Trust
For many of us in the #rationalist and #humanist community, the focus on how we define ourselves often falls on the difference between developing and upholding the #rationalmind versus #religious tendencies towards bias or inference. This does not mean #freethinkers are not impacted by our own #biases and inferences– we accept them and are aware of them.

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.

1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.
2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a #SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.
3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as #NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.
4. Another report without any basis or #justification.
5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.
So here's what's going to happen....
The instances that forwarded these #bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.
Strike three and we tell #Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.
No #admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.
But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.
You have to give us proof and evidence.
This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.
But if you just suspect someone might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!

A quotation from Algernon Sidney
For this reason, the law is established which no passion can disturb. It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger. It is mens sine affectu, written reason, retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It does not enjoin that which pleases a weak, frail man; but, without any regard to persons, commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible.
Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) English politician, republican political theorist [also Sydney]
Discourses Concerning Government, ch. 3, § 15 (1689)

McElroy’s proper place in the world. His 1989 book, “The Search for an American Public #Theology,” argued that the fundamentalist strain of #Christianity, which wanted government leaders to base decisions on certain Scriptures, was too partisan and alienating to unify a country as diverse as the United States. Instead, Catholics should find common ground through an appeal to #reason, he believed. You didn’t need to quote the Bible to establish human life as sacred.

Probably they want to keep their Asses out of #Trouble. That's why they make such AUP's or TOS. The #Reason behind this is easy to guess. But who the #fucking #Hell ever cared for such #Conditions ? NO ONE !! At least not me, ha ha.
#Activists probably must care for such 
#Bullshit - so #Thanks for #caring.
