I love reading through the often spirited debates that take place in the Coffee Room forum. I feel really bothered and uncomfortable, however, when a user twists/respells another user’s username into an insult. It has no purpose other than showing off one’s “creativity” at the expense of another’s feelings, and it is usually far less clever than the author of the insult thinks. It cheapens the debate, hurts feelings, leads to retaliation, and hastens the closing of threads due to acrimony.
If other users agree, perhaps we can suggest to the moderators that any post twisting a member’s username to an insult receives an automatic editing or deletion.
Any thoughts or comments?
