Actually Amber is right. It means Please think about how others might
react to your message. If you've said something that might be
offensive to Christians, can you reword it? If you've said something
that, on reflection, might cause a flame war, is it best left unsaid?
If you've responded to one specific individual & you re-read your
reply & discover that maybe the specific individual is going to be
hurt or angry by what you've typed, maybe you should rework it. Does
this make more sense now?
