People getting to make posts accusing other users of being pedophiles and rapists as retaliation to being called out for shitty behavior isn't a game.

No offence, but it sounds way too serious than it is. Now, granted, I haven't seen such behavior here before - even the most heated debates I observed have been argumented and portioned to make sense - and, granted, it shouldn't be tolerated if meant seriously.

But then, Grendel only called me out on that because he wanted to "strike back", knowing perfectly well he has nothing on it. He wanted to make the point that people mustn't be accused without proof... if their username contains "Grendel". That point, he made. People responded to him, which I don't approve. He wanted attention, and he got it, from people who believed that he must have been meaning what he said - the same people who know what kind of behavior he's infamous for.

I don't approve of such behavior, either, but what we did as a collective is stirred the pot further by telling the guy "Well, if nothing else works, here's how you get to us". He's proven himself incapable of changing his mind once his ego was hurt or argument attempted to be proven wrong (which is the same thing). The best we can do, in the situation, is not feed.
