Filomena is the moderator of a Facebook page aimed at unseating a local politician. She is vehemently opposed to his policies and his personal behavior, so much so that in one post to the group she threatens to run him over with her car if she ever encounters him in town. What ethical guideline is she violating?

Filomena is violating the ethical guideline of appropriateness. Making a threat of violence, even in a heated context, is not appropriate behavior for a moderator or any member of a community discussion, especially on a platform intended for civic engagement and political discourse.
