Wow, what a totally reasonable response. Hitting someone in the mouth for being a dick to you, or pulling a deadly weapon. I can't see how either of those could possible end poorly for you.

That's not the point. I don't care if he acts this way in public. My point is that any of us can be, and probably often are, treated rudely in public. When it happens, we don't run to the nearest authority figure and tattle. You apparently come out swinging, but most rational adults probably either mouth off back or ignore it.

Escorted by whom? Other people in public? I doubt it very much. Most people don't want to get involved. But that's not even the point. The point is that we are adults and should be able to deal with people being nasty and abusive without running to the moderators.

She has begged for me to buy her a premium account as she loves risk, and she is quite good at the computer version and board version of it, but I had to refrain because there are people like codeblue on this site that run their mouths unchecked and seem to have no consequences when they do.
If parents permit their children to use the internet unchecked, they should expect that they will encounter obscene language. If the worst that happens is that some asshole on a gaming site calls their strategy, "fucking horrible," they should consider themselves lucky.
