I know I'm probably not permitted to weigh in on this sort of thing, but it seems to me that the accused was going way out of line. At one point in my reading, it was clear to me that the accuser was a minor, at which point it should have been clear to the accused to stop with the language. However, he did not stop, but got even worse. I understand that the accuser responded, but it wasn't nearly as foul as what was spewed by the accused.
I know you're not the mod here, but this kind of thing absolutely bothers me, especially in light of the turn this website has taken to be a family-friendly site. I hope the mods will take into consideration that the accuser appears to be a minor and that it should have been clear to the accused.
First everyone is allowed to way their opinions, its an open forum that is designed to peak discussion on the topic that only helps the mods see different points of views and justly make a ruling.
Secondly I totally agree. The language in the chat was completely uncalled for by the accused. Whether he is a minor or not is subjective, as it was never stated "Hey I'm 13 and don't like those words" or something of the sort.
Conquer Club while I do agree with its push to be more family friendly still takes a very liberal stance and advises users to Foe & Rate Accordingly and has methods to allow users to prevent any communication from another party from reaching them. This is the road this will probably go down unless this user (the accused) is grossly abusing chat in a lot of games and causing discontent on a wide range scale.
Hopefully he at least gets
WARNED that the kind of language is not in the best with keeping good sportsmanship.

The accused was not the one that said this, it was another player involved in the game
