If this was framed from a perspective of "Petition for SE to only allow one FC house per account" it would be pretty easy to keep civil. But once it's pointed out that SE is okay with people owning 9 houses per account, the conversation then turns to "well, the people who would do that are evil!" Heck, this particular thread opened up with a name-and-shame screenshot so we could all see how 'evil' someone was for having 8 accounts.
While it's easy to see one side as overreacting or rude while you think the other side is just because it's the side you're on, it's clear people on both sides of this argument are just resorting to name-calling and personal attacks rather than actual discussion. It went off the rails a while ago and no one from either camp has really made an effort to be civil about it.

Even if one side is being extremely immature or rude, that doesn't have to set the tone. You don't always have to stoop to the level of your opponent.
