Yes, they are oversensitive and possibly leaked their personal information so people can really get at them over more methods of communication. These people aren't smart and are oversensitive to the fullest.

Are you saying that insults are rape at this moment? Why are we shifting insults to forcing sexual acts? They aren't the same. One is physical and one is verbal. I cannot make a serious discussion if you're switching this situation to rape.

There is something very sinister going on in the anonomous internet communities, and thats an issue that is bigger then private servers.
If you're on a private server, you have deviated from the normal procedure of WoW. If you deviated from retail, you should expect less moderation because it's not a business running these servers now. These are people that may or may not be paid. You have the right to ignore someone's comment, a player in-game, and leave the channel in-game. You have the power to step away from an insult. On the forum, you can add someone as a "foe" which is explained in the section of the User Control Panel/UCP.

By all means, please enjoy the game. I intend to "spew hatred" at will to anyone in the game because that's what I, an aggressive gamer, do while playing the game. I'm just telling you and the rest of the sensitive players that you have the power to ignore people on and off the forum as long as you keep your privacy of your personal information. Services outside of the server and forum are untouched by Nostalrius staff so it is suggested that you do not link your account(s) with these services.
Note: I am an aggressive player, but I make more friends than enemies on the server.
