Ren, please reread my post. I never said anyone was saying 'bad' things about me or anyone in particular. There is however a portion of people that do use 200 for talking trash simply because they can, for whatever reason they care to name. But, to some it comes across as hateful or at the very least, mighty unfriendly.
Personally, I don't care. Your game is your game. Having served in the Army back in the mid 70's and as a L.E.O. (Ret), I've pretty much heard, and been called everything but a child of God! While it is true that kids today are more 'in touch' with the way people tend to express themselves (street jargon), especially with kids their own age, do we need 200? I just mentioned the option of doing away with it so that the endless posts about certain users of 200 and some of the [real or imagined] anger in the text, both in game and here in the BBs, would dissipate. Maybe then we would have fewer arguments/name calling, here and in game, about what and why there is soooo much 'smack talking'.
Nope, probably not! We then would start a new series of posts pointing fingers at each other about who the '200 killtard' was! 
Nutzoid, please reread my post. "YOU" refers to anyone in the game not "you" personally. Also, 200 is an OPTION that you (anyone) can turn on and off and never listen to again. You (anyone) can can also SQUELCH anyone you desire. Now...don't you (personally) understand these options can allow you (anyone) to turn off and never have to listen again (to what you (anyone) might consider smack talk)?
You (anyone) and you (personally) actually only hear what you (anyone) wish to hear in this game. That choice is yours (anyones), not theirs (anyones).
Should you (anyone) and you (pesoanlly) desire to stop smack talking but tards merely say on 200, "sorry I gotta squelch you" then do it. If everyone does that everytime, guess what? People (tards) will begin to get the message.
What's most interesting to note, and any old vet knows this, in old DOS AW the community exerted pressure on undesirable tardiness (and I'm not saying "late") and it stopped. AOHell tried to become their own police department to handle tards which turned into a complete waste of time and energy. HTC has taking a slightly diffferent approach by having mods. The reason issue is it begins in your (anyones) and your (you personally) cockpit. Turn off 200, squelch the tards. It goes away when they have no audience to whine to. If you have kids you know the easiest way to get them in line is to ignore their whines. Why would you (anyone) think this is any different?
Remember you (anyone) and you (personally) allow it by listening to it then bring it here to WHINE and ask for ways to deal with it when you already have the power to deal witih it yourselves (everyone).
Have I made it a tad easier for you to grasp?
The easiest fix is to keep whines from guys like BatfinkV from expressing his annoyance with his girl friends (do you realy have one?
annoynace of him playing a game is to have a permanent Personal Mute list that stays muted until you change your mind not for just that session. You want 200 for those folks who ain't tards? Mute those who are and all that you will ever hear on 200 are your "friends". If a new tard pipes up on 200 you mute him too. Pretty simple even for the tards to understand. It does away with a need for mods, sorry mods.
Disclaimer: Tard, in this text, can be considering anyone who wishes to disrupt game play with inane chatter designed to let them hear themselves be heard. Ya hea?
Understand?
