As has been pointed out in another topic, this is like stating that neither we should have rules prohibiting offending or trying to offend other members. What you're proposing is simply that we turn these forums into a free-for-all flamewar zone, after all, one should simply ignore offensive comments.

I don't know, but I think we should take a clear stance, here: Should we simply assume that bullying others, whether forum members or children, perhaps is no more than a means for self-expression? Is this really where the community stands?

Maybe the tagging system isn't an issue for you or for me, but truth is, it's useless now as it stands, if not for a means to bully others and make sarcastic anonymous remarks; why not go all the way and enable anonymous postings, as well, so that when I feel like trolling the hell out of a thread, I might as well do so without staining my own user name?

I think there's no clear distinction between the two scenarios.

And it seems a lot of people participate on the tagging jokes than they'd care to admit, given the number of "I don't care about tagging, but please allow for tag trolling to continue" responses... Hmm... If no one cares/reads them, it sure makes me wonder why that attitude is kept up.
