I ignore it.

I am VERY hard to offend, so I probably flag it, because it's WAY over the top, and completely inappropriate. I actually don't think I've ever done it, though... nobody's put on anything that was really genuinely offensive.
-
I have a right to flag it because it would be offensive to me but that doesn't mean it is to others. It would take more than my flag for it to be gone. But I still have the right to do it.

Am I supposed to flag questions that offend me???
-
If I think it's only offensive to ME - I ignore it. If I think it's offensive to me and many others - I flag it.

It would have to be really offensive for me to flag it.

So far I haven't flagged anything, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't. Blatant racism or any question that promotes violence and hatred toward others or any of God's critters would likely draw a flag from me. That doesn't mean that people are not entitled to their opinions, though, so it's a thin line. If I felt that the question or answer was detrimental to the community, as a whole, I'd flag it. Is that wishy washy enough for you? lol.

It's not whether it offends me rather than it is found to be generally offensive. If the case be the latter then it is an obviously offense question and needs to be removed.

It really depends on what I find offensive. I try to take the 'grocery store' approach here. If I am in the store and there is a product I don't like, I simply don't buy it...Here if a question is one I don't like I simply don't answer it. :-) VGQ+++ -Buddy

If I think it's offensive and ignorant to a lot of people, not just myself, then I'd flag it. I haven't done that often though, just to REALLY offensive questions. If it's just someone trying to ruffle a few feathers, I usually smack it with a few negative points though.

I was offended by this question so I flagged it. I really didn't. It depends on the situation.
-
Generally, I ignore borderline offensive questions. There are too many community members here for it to go unnoticed for long. SOMEONE will flag it if it really burns their bacon. If it's offensive to me, directly, I may flag it.
-
It depends on the question! If it is something that offends just a minority of people on here then I would not flag it, however if it was a question that would cause widespread offence then I would flag it!

I often ignore it, but sometimes answering it can be interesting. I only flag questions that don't make sense. I have never flagged questions that I have found offensive, I really hate this culture where nobody can be offended. I believe that people have free speech, and that nobody has the right not to be offended. Only that people have the right not to be threatened. I live in the UK, which is one of the most multicultural societies in the world (although I worry about the current states of affairs), which means that anything you say will offended somebody! Which means either not saying anything or just having a thick skin!

I flagged one just to see what would happen. Now I have flagged 2 others for nonsense (cause they were duplicates) If they are really offensive...I give them points, it's hard to offend me, so I know they are working hard and deserve them. Crack that whip Give the post the slip Step on a crack Break your mommas back When a problem comes along You must flag it Before the insult sits too long You must flag it When somethings going wrong You must flag it now Flag it. into shape. shape it up. get straight. go forward. move ahead. try to detect it. it's not too late. to flag it. flag it good. When a good time turns around. You must flag it. You will never live it down. Unless you flag it. No one gets their way. Until they flag it. I say flag it. Flag it good. I say flag it. Flag it good.

I used to just ignore it but I won't anymore. You have to be pretty ripe to offend me so I won't be overactive with my flags.
