I guess I have a soft upbringing then, because I don't know people who like to talk about the best method of killing their spouse, and if I did I would avoid them like the plague. |

I do not have the habit to take statements done by kids or dumb people too serious. This is referred to the chat log not to you.
I interpret this as a polite version of 'you're just too sensitive'. 
I don't think it's really a question of whether it should be taken seriously. I find people like this repulsive to be around and
I'd rather not have to deal with them in my leisure time. The original question was how to get more women to play the game, and I think a good start would be not to alienate the ones who are already subscribed.

It's our problem and it down to us to recognise it exists and then to try and work on it.
Yes, this. I wouldn't want CCP to take action to censor or try to control player speech specifically to make female players feel welcome. I have no desire at all for people to get gagged or banned on my behalf. |
