If you lose sleep over being called a noob or dweeb in a cartoon game you should be escorted to the nearest mental health facility and checked out very closely. because the realities of real life would KILL you!
Smack talk is one thing.........
Some of these people are resorting to personal insults.
Example : calling someone a MEANY or a BULLY is considerably different then calling them a tard.....
Pretty sure the legal system agrees on such things as well....
That IMHO is where the line needs to be drawn.
If you are UNABLE to see the difference then maybe you shouldn't say anything?
GRADUALLY lawyers and the legal system are COMING to your PC, in the name of PC?, and probably eventually AHII and other online gaming communities.
This is just the latest report on law and the NET.

So for those that think they can say whatever they want.....
you MIGHT want to start rethinking that.....
It COULD become expensive.......
And a couple of little thoughts for all...
Manners have a purpose....
They can keep you OUT of trouble.....
and they help society to work MORE smoothly...
BUT
If you can not or will not control yourself DON'T worry!
The world has MANY people that want, VERY BADLY, to control you!
They just need the excuse that YOU'RE gonna give em!
