…when Bahá'ís are
teaching in an online "chat room" and Covenant-breakers intrude upon
the discussion, the friends should not feel obliged to sign off simply because
Covenant-breakers are present in this virtual space. They should, however,
refrain from knowingly engaging the Covenant-breakers in discussions and, in
any case, should avoid being drawn into contentious or disputatious situations.

of Justice to an individual believer)
