I do agree with the statements here. "Rape" is such an ugly word. I'll use PvP words such as Gank when talking about getting wiped by a raid boss, etc. A lot of times too when going on a tirade I'll usually use the Brits methods. Calling people git, prat, etc.

I don't get offended very often, just angry at funsuckers and elitists in raid/dungeons. Most of the time I just iggy the person and put in a report on the offending toon. We need for space for the Ignore list. :(

World of Warcraft is a game and we are supposed to be having fun playing the game. Using such words, for me, would not make the game much fun. On the servers I play on, I turn off trade chat just to avoid the nonsense that has a tendency to go on there.

Have fun and relax.
