So banning, say, in-game sexual harassment isn't worthwhile? I'm
going to go ahead and strongly disagree with you there.

Nod, I understand that's your opinion, but why? Is that just your
personal preference from you-the-player or is there a reason for it
beyond that that you can back up with data or experience? I don't
think there are many people (any people?) on this list with longer
experience as a developer whose business model is built around
selling in-game items, and I'm missing your logic here.
