    Telling s.o. he/she should better quit/is the worst player ever (not in general, I am talking about the very special context of a new player)? Cannot see anything in the ToS forbidding it.

    Starting a dungeon with "oh, <player's name> again! The tank that cannot hold aggro!" (assuming the tank is new and does indeed have some issues) causing other players to consider quitting? No ToS clause about that, as far as I have been able to understand.

    Bottom line: You can be as mean and toxic as you like, as long as you do not use any curse words. Nothing SE wants to fix, as it seems.
    You first need to know the meaning of cursing because you seem to not know.

    curse word
    noun
    1. a profane or obscene word, especially as used in anger or for emphasis.
    2. any term conceived of as offensive.

    Sorry, I guess I used the wrong term. I think the word I am looking for would be offense or libel (in the judicial sense)

    Everything in your post would be considered harassment and last I checked harassment is against the ToS.
