As the apostles said, we must obey God rather than men. God has commanded us to first privately, in love, intervene with a straying brother/sister. If that doesn’t work, then one or two additional faithful believers should become involved. If that fails, then and only then is the entire church/assembly engaged in the issue.

OK. I repent for doing otherwise with you and will earnestly endeavor to do differently from here forward.

I do consider context regarding such matters, normally. And online, the norms are a very robust give and take--much as one can see in St Paul's letters and in Christ's public exhortations of Disciples and Pharisees in front of others.

And, I think the topic of an exhortation is also a factor.

If I saw someone hereon exiting a bar quite falling down drunk, I'd mention it privately.

Sooooooo, I suggest you apply the same standard to yourself in your exhortations, admonishments etc. of Q-Anon posters hereon.

Go to them privately.

Only sweetness and light on the threads.
