Terms of Service Punish Players Who Respond to Harassment, Not Harassers

In the terms of service, people are explicitly told that any vulgar reference to any bodily function or excretion, when speaking to another user, is a reportable violation of Terms of Service.

So what, you say?

If someone approaches you in-game and says anything to provoke you, and you say something back to that person, they can report you. Someone does this more than a few times, and you're booted from the World of Warcraft.

What's Blizzard's response? Verbatim, from their website:

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

That's right..."Go F yourself" is basically Blizzard's reply (as it seems to be so often these days).

They then programmed the act farting on other characters into the game, and THAT'S kosher... But to call the guy who farted on you an asshole or a douchebag can get you booted?! This company has gotten WAAAAY too arrogant for its own good.

Summary: You can be booted for nothing more than telling someone who's harassing you to piss off.
