Here's a tough one...
What do you do in a situation where you have a duty to report someone?
Joe, a christian, and Mary, a christian, go to school together. Mary tells Joe of some seedy behavior and she tells you "here I am trying to follow the rules and Bob and Danny are working together!" The school rules, as they are written and as Joe believes them to be, is to report such behavior. Joe, feeling convicted about breaking the rules himself by not saying anything, strongly advises by email to Mary that she should report the incident and says in the email that if he is wrong (about the rules) then Mary should let him know. After a day or two passes, Joe gets an email from Mary saying that she discussed the issue with a faculty member who told her no one broke the rules, which she says is just what she suspected(pretty confusing, huh?). Mary also tells Joe to not speak to her again by peron or email or else she will file a complaint against Joe - she also requested to be moved seats in a class to be far away from Joe.
Joe is hurt and doesn't understand if he is right or wrong. Has Joe done something wrong?
