Name calling

Why on football Internet forums do some take name calling so personally? Is it really that important?

When at a football match and the opposition fans sing a song calling you a w4nker do you take it personally and walk out?

It's the nature of the beast between rival football fans and it's inevitable on a football forum.

Yes, there is a line that shouldn't be crossed but seriously, does anyone seriously lose any sleep if they are called a bed wetting cretin?

As long as it doesn't affect debate, who really cares

Admin, if you're around, I wouldn't mind your input on this and what you see as acceptable seeing as it's a football forum and not a Sunday coffee morning book club.
