The issue nobody wants to address

He wasn't particularly subtle about the fight club rules. If he wanted to say something about harassment he'd say it. Even assuming that's not the case, drawing an implication is very very different from having an official dev source. "We're all adults" could be referring to any number of things if we really wanna start going down that rabbit hole.

I'd personally go with "We're all adults here" being generally used to be intentionally vague. Most of the times that that phrase is used it's meant to be a call for general blanket maturity.

Regarding the evidence, uhmm... have you ever played games with parsers and paid attention to group chats or shouts? Have you ever played WoW back in the day? Have you ever paid attention to the constant bickering that happens even here in-game about performance? It doesn't happen all the time, but it certainly does happen. That alone could possibly be reason enough for the devs here to not want it beyond what we currently have.

Yes I have, and our experiences are apparently very different. That last sentence is another good example of people putting words into the dev's mouths to suit their own arguments. If your position is going to be based on the devs, then you need a source or a quote or something. Saying that they may possibly think something because of how you think things work is not how dev sources work.

Edit: End of the day I don't really care how people feel about parsing, my point is just this: if you wanna say "I feel [such and such] about [whatever topic]" then go ahead. But if you're going to say "the devs feel [such and such] about [whatever topic]" then you need a source. Otherwise you're just making up arguments, which is usually a sign that you don't have a legitimate argument.
