Kind of ironic this happened...

I would rather there be leeway than strict enforcement, it would feel more like censorship

I've already mentioned that "I believe it much better to appeal for calm and mutual respect and consideration for one another first before escalating to infractions and brig time." "I believe it much better to appeal for calm and mutual respect and consideration for one another first before escalating to infractions and brig time."

PM even are warranted

There are people in this thread and many others I have PM'd warning of potential future consequences.

especially when I am pretty sure if I heaved in such manner, I would be in the brig

Are you sure? I have given you a warning on more on one occasion rather than going down a more serious route.

My advice to EVERYONE would be not to respond to anything such as baiting, insults or name calling...report a post and let the moderators sort it.

The alternative is matters getting out of hand and the moderator having no other option than to act in a remedial way.
