User blog:John Breasly/Trash-talking

I have noticed a lot of behavior that I disapprove of. Trash-talking. But a specific trash-talking. People calling others things like 5-year-old girls and old whiny men. People making fun of others "Hey, why don't you go give Leon a call then?" like that. I used to partake in this, but do no longer.

Example A
People have always called Captain Leon a 5-year-old girl, but rarely after he joined the wiki did we see it. People were told to stop, and never punished.

Example B
I've seen Samuel Redbeard called a lot of things. Old whiny man, homosexual (that is NOT a curse word!) ginger, etc. Samuel took it like a man, and ignored it. However, people who have called him stuff like that (Sir Carlos Clemente, Captain Leon, other haters) then complain when Samuel finally explodes on them.

Example C
Pearson. Many hate him, many love him. I used to hate him, but after talking with him for a while, he's not that bad. However, he is still called a little girl, and things like that. Ever wonder why he can be intolerable sometimes?

Example D
I N F E R N O is constantly trash-talked. It doesn't matter by who, or how, but they are trash-talked almost constantly, in-and-out of game.

Now...
This needs to stop. Seriously. People are rarely banned from this. This rule needs to be enforced. Anyone who continues can expect a strike from me (if this is made into a separate rule, maybe a ban), and shouldn't whine when that person gets upset.

Admin Petition
My fellow admins.... I'd like to make this a separate rule, so it's more clear to our fellow users. Should we?

Agree
