Too many thin skins and what will happen is membership and participation will dwindle as this behavior continues because there's only so many of us and so people will be picked off one-by-one... much like BB, it'll end up with a very boring Final with most of the interest gone.

95% of issues are resolved by simply not responding. It almost always goes away on its own because it gives nothing to reciprocate. 5% are posts from batsh** users anyway who can be sorted out more easily (by mods) if recipients would simply stay uninvolved and let moderators do their job. They'll escalate to the point it will take care of itself. Otherwise, it's making their jobs much more difficult because then they have two rule breakers to sort out. And to be be fair, some of this intentional because certain users want moderators to be involved in their personal spats (they want to be a chosen one). If it's 4am, report the post and let it stay up if it needs to until a moderator can get up, have their coffee and they'll happily remove if it's an unfortunate post.
