This is a painful reminder to us ALL that we need to treat ALL toons with respect and kindness. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it reflects poorly on CCG if any of our members act out. I have actually had this thought recently, when I saw an outspoken member of CCG post about griefing someone who chose to pass in a street battle.

I was reminded recently that my own behavior didn't reflect well. My behavior was completely unintentional and what was intended by me was not how the other person took it. Basically, he felt that I was using speedchat to tell him his playing skills were less than adequate, and in reality I meant something totally different. When I say things like, "Oh, well." I intend to mean "big deal" and shrug it off, but he thought I was stating that his gag choices were unacceptable. I appreciate the fact that he pm'ed me to ask about my speedchat because I was able to explain myself to him. It made me realize that I've done it before and possibly hurt other people's feelings.

I agree with the others that you should pm the offending party(parties) and ask them about their chat as well as gag choices. I'd like to believe that there is some other reason or that their speedchat was intended another way. Perhaps they were telling each other it was too risky, perhaps their own RL situation caused them to make poor gag choices. You will never know unless you ask them.
