To be honest, that was suppsoed to be a sarcastic joke. I'm fully aware that the problem won't solve itself, nor will sweeping it under the mattress do any good. The use contributing to this forum are, indeed, a fraction of how people behave in the real world, thus mirroring the ugly reality of how a good number of people behave.
However, I do believe that we can steer discussion towards a certain way and maybe thus create a new norm or principle of what would be acceptable in certain circumstances. I think I henceforth will try to stick to the match thread instead of the chat, as the latter seems to be flooded with idiocy and naïve banter. And, unforunately, unless discussing the issue through with the mods, the situation will remain as it is.
