I believe you are a God fearing person and you mean well. However, gentle isn't going to cut it. We need to fight back with all the force we have at our disposal. If they beat seniors, we beat them back. It they step it up from there, we raise it another notch. They are not going to back down with a "gentle" reminder. They have already received many gentle reminders, it is time for some less than gentle tactics.
LOL. I think you missed the sarcasm in my use of the word “gentle” - Probably should have used parenthesis.
We are in agreement.
Truth and a backbone to support it are what’s needed.
