No, not really. Name calling on minerealm is minimal with help bot banning the extremely offensive words. Minerealm is the cleanest server I know in this aspect. The only way it can get extremely bad is through messages or when a staff member isn't there to stop somebody from using the phrase 'stupid idiot' (or something like that) a bunch of times.

True, but the key word here is "some".
Some people want a full-map wipe, this won't happen.
Some people want many different things, but they won't happen. I admit, I don't enjoy when people call me an idiot or etc., but I don't take it as
very offensive. I feel happy knowing that the alternative, a cluster of swears, could be said to me at any time, but isn't. (because of on minerealm's rules)

First thing I want to point out, don't use "very". Next, I see your point, but so can intelligent comments on reasons why a person's suggestions or ideas are completely inadequate. I know that bugs me most of all, when people insult with just the right sentence, doing far more damage then "you are a retard", or something along those lines. If people take silly taunts so offensive, then maybe we need to set the standards a bit higher, but I don't think it's too much of a problem.

No.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to win an argument is through intelligence or just plain letting loose with enough bad language to leave the opponent speechless. Obviously, the second method would get you smacked down by staff or help bot. So, if the first reason is key in minerealm chat, then let others use insults while they get put down by smart people, and the name-caller is the one at a loss here,
not the other way around.

Correct. However, sometimes, you must settle with an imperfection rather then being upset, because name-calling will be an imperfection
anywhere on the internet or a place where people can talk to others not face-to-face.
My bottom line:
I see how and why you are not tolerating name calling. I actually agree with you, despite all my above comments. The reason for my above comments are that you are coming at this the wrong way, and that there is nothing to be done about name-calling, except what has already been done to make it the exact opposite of a severe issue.
